DIY Request: Blackvue Dash Camera
Hello was curious if there was anyone thats installed one of these? Particularly to a dedicated power supply? I've heard that the BMW electric system is extremely sensitive. Others have mentioned that a 2nd battery is another option, but have no idea how this is done.

I installed my mini 0803 by tapping power from the mirror along with my radar detector.
Here is a sample video, Watch it in HD (Youtube degrades the video, it looks even better on my computer) Also caught the tech at my BMW dealership joy riding my car during my 1200 mile service. Last edited by stevenc; 09-29-2014 at 05:02 PM.. |

I have a 0801 in my daily and a 0803 in my M4. No issues what so ever. Even if it does crap out, a replacement 0801 is $50 and a 0803 is $80. Won't break the bank.

Yesterday I installed my BlackVue with Power Magic Pro using the fuse box in the trunk. However it seems that the dashcam power is turned off after I leave the car off around 20 minutes... Maybe I connected to a wrong tab.. Does anyone have a suggestion what fuse tabs should I connect the wires of the Power Magic Pro to? (+ACC and +BATT)

Steven, you're a better man than I am - just watching it made me livid but then again I am pretty anal when it comes to my things. Was this at Advantage? Seems like it from the video. I was going to be giving them my car to service but this is exactly why I'm going to be there to keep tabs on their ass.
Also, I think what makes this even dumber is that this idiot had to know the camera was running right? Why the hell would do you drive like that in someone else's car. Last edited by IMMLaw; 12-26-2014 at 09:01 AM.. |

The car is sensitive to electrical "drains" so if you're tapping into constant power as opposed to switched power there may be a problem but otherwise you are fine.

Basically, if the car see's a drain that isn't supposed to be there from a constant power source (OBD-II Connector, Charger, Radar Detector, etc.) it will throw a "High Battery Drain When Stopped" message and alert you when you start the car. As long as it is on a switched power source, you don't have the problem.

I found this video that describes hardwire in F30.. Maybe I'll try again with some other fuse tabs..

Dash video
Can police confiscate the video if you're pulled over? That's what makes me nervous.

they can do anything they want. As to whether it would hold up in court, most likely not. Illegal search and seizure, depending on the circumstances.
