Hi All,

I bought a "ITRUE X6D Dual Car Dash Cam Pro" on Amazon. Neat little HD camera, even has a 2nd rear facing (VGA) camera. Anyone hard wired a dash cam into a Gen 2 Volt? I think I will mount the camera just left of the rear view mirror, and I think I can tuck the wire into the headliner to get it over to the A-pillar, there actually a little gap there. I saw a YouTube video where (on different model car and with different dash cam) they just pulled off some of the rubber door molding to run the wire inside and down the A-piller (there may have been an air bag in there somewhere too) to the foot well......but the probably can't be that easy, can it?

Anyway, if anyone put one in please share your experience...

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks guys. I'll try to post an update when I get it hard wired.

Thanks for the additional info guys. If I can pop off that A-Pillar cover easily I will probably run the wire myself to the footwell, then if it looks like a hassle just take it somewhere. Well see. I have not even looked under the dash to see whats there yet. The camera did come with both a cigarette adapter and a hard wire cable.

Thanks,
Jeff

UPDATE: Fuse block looks to be in good location, and looks like in video here using Fuse Slot 37 should would work. Joe, if I use the fuse tap you show on your link above this could be a snap to install. Hopefully getting the wire down is easy.

Clint, I did not get around to trying to run the wire down to the fuse block yet. But if you can post any additional info or pics about wiring like you describe above please do. Thanks, Jeff

Just an update guys: I have not gotten around to hardwiring my dash camera yet, with some cold weather, the holidays and a death in the family I just not got to it yet. But in looking around for info on how to take the A-pillar cover off I did find this video.

He used the USB port on the car, but it's helpful to see what's behind the A-pillar cover.
