Currently, I have the power cable going to the right of the camera into the glove box and the rear cam wire going to the left of the camera. On both A pillers (left and right) I have the wires on the passenger facing side (not on the side where the A pillar meets the glass). I couldn't push in the cable on the glass side. I tried removing the A piller cover but I realized that I was damaging it. I would not advise this setup as it could hinder the Airbag deployment. I will get this changed by BMW so that wires go near the glass side. I then ran the rear cam wire through the floor hiding it behind the plastic. This is possible all the way to the C pillar. You could then get it behind the headliners to the to the middle of the rear glass. Nirmal |

BTW just as a bonus... How does the battery pack thing work? I want it to run 2 days without throwing errors on the car, what will I need to do? I've got an E92 335i and I'm wiring the camera to the back with the battery. |

For anyone that is interested. I have done alot of trial and error when using the BlackVue DR650GW 2 channel dashcams with a Powermagic Pro on a BMW F10/11/06/14 (5/6 series). I have found this combination is the best when connected to the fusebox in the glovebox:
Battery cable (Yellow) - Connect to Fuse 3 (OBD) ACC cable (Red) - Connect to Fuse 12 (Light Module) Ground cable (Black) - Connect to the bolt on when you take the side panel off (Where the Airbag key switch is) Set the Powermagic Pro with this config: (From left to right) Up, Down, Up, Up, Up, Up This will allow the dashcam to work for 6 hours as I have found that it dies after around 7 hours when set to 12 hours Recording will also continue when car is off with stop start. Hope this will help someone. |

Do you get the battery discharge warning in this setting in the morning when you 1st start the car? Mine has been wired to the main fuse box in the back but I do get the discharge warning in the morning.

no I don't. If I changed the timer to 12 hours it normally cuts off at around 7-8 hours and then it will display the battery discharge warning message. Thanks! Trigs |
