Just finished my dashcam install. Went with a motorcyle dash cam. Waterproof, and the controller box tucks away.Hello all.
My ride is 2021 JLU RUBI 4xe. I am planning to install a dash cam.
My ride has the advanced safety group. and also has the heavy-duty Electrical group.
does anyone know how to install the hardwires hidden in the trim?
thanks!!
Uh oh. I hope giving the camera a full 12V instead of the 5V it expected didn’t damage it. That would suck.
I ran a check and everything seems to be working still. I think I dodged a bullet. Would’ve been nice to catch that ahead of time thoughUh oh. I hope giving the camera a full 12V instead of the 5V it expected didn’t damage it. That would suck.
I had the same issue with switched wires. I have everything working now but my Aux 3 wire and ignition wire were color swapped.I did the same thing and didn’t pull the battery.
The only reason you’d pull the battery is if there’s a risk of shorting it to the vehicle body while working. There’s just no way in hell to do that here unless you get the wrong wire.
Note - I’m pretty sure my ignition wire and one of the aux switches had the wire colours swapped. Not sure if it’s just mine or if I had bad documentation online. Just check it first.
Where do I get this ?That's exactly the way I mounted my Garmin Mini. Once down in the footwell, I used a 12V to 5V USB power converter and ran the 12v source to the cigarette/cigar lighter so that the camera was on whenever the vehicle was running.
