2-Channel Dash Cam Install

[Rev_Night]

christ im beginning to think i have a defective product somewhere. I'll email Blackvue and ask for a new power fuse tap cable. Camera still doesn't power on when I turn car on. All fuses and fuse taps are flush. The crimp between fuse taps and power cable is strong. What could possibly still be the problem?

That is not a grounded screw, just goes into plastic. Take off the kick panel below and find one of the proper grounding bolts beneath.

I should have noticed that from your pictures 2 days ago.

All good. I'm new to electrical work. And your suggestion was spot on actually. I removed the lower kick panels, found a red 10mm bolt, put the ground on that, and now it works perfectly.

turns out it was user error all long (lame)

THANK YOU

Not sure if it's best to revive this thread or start a new. I've purchased this dash cam:

Do I need a kit to hardwire similar to the link below to hardware the dash cam as shown in the first post of this thread? Are there are certain fuses the hardware kit needs to include? I apologize for the low level - car mechanical knowledge is decent, electrical knowledge is low.

Hey there, both your links are coming up as search results for me, not the actual product listing. Can you send a link to the actual products and I can see if I can help you out?
