Connecting Two Dash Cams to Single Ignition Only Fuse - Complete

[nunucello]

Happy to report it is possible to connect two dash cams to a single ignition only fuse with the use of a double fuse tap.

I used fuse #3 and this is what made it all possible:

I've attached pics of the rear install.

Very nice. Maybe after the holidays I will hard wire mine and change the front speakers. Im not very mechanically inclined but I was more concerned with damage or clips breaking. I have these same cameras. Very simple and seem to work well. I used the front and rear 12 volt plugs for now but the added security from hardwiring seems worth the trouble.

Highly recommend the fuse tap method. Super clean and works great !

if you don't have plastic trim removal tools, get some. I have a cheap set from Amazon that included a bunch of plastic fasteners, handy even though those are mostly on the undercarrier, fender wells, etc.

if you watch some YouTube videos or check threads here, sometimes people explain where the clips are at or where to pry with the trim tools. it's hard to really mess up, but the dash tweeters and especially the rear pillar speakers are a bit of a pain. the side trim is pretty easy, except the B pillar.

you'll do fine with a little research, trim tools, and patience.

What tool in the kit did you use most?

I'll send you a pic later of the two I used. It's the two missing from the kit.

You mind reader, you! Just recently looking for a rear cam and inquired on another thread how to install. Looks like you have the Garmin . . . compact and reliable. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Garmin mini dash cam 2 is perfect
