- Important: Do not obstruct your airbags!
Alot of people dont realize how easy it really is to hide the dash cam wires or cables from inside your car. I show you how to hide the wires with no tools... just my pretty little fingers. Once you watch this video you will have the general idea to hide the dash cam cables from any vehicle.
If you need to hold your wires up somewhere you can use some kind of tape like electrical tape or wire adhesive clamps which you can find here: amzn.to/2UMvQRj

The fact that almost all new cars don't have integrated dash/rear cams from the factory that record collisions is insane to me, should have been a feature for the last 20 years.
I'd be happy if new cars just came with a usb power port up near the rear view mirror, so you can plug your dashcam in there instead of running this stupid wire all through your car.
It probably keeps insurance's in business that's why these ass buts probably don't do it
Valid point. Only not everyone purchasing dash cams & attempting to hide them are driving cars, pickup trucks or SUV'S. Some of us are driving much, much larger vehicles Like 80,000lbs more!
And We're buying redundant electronics because We have to protect ourselves, our commercial licenses & careers. We cannot simply rely on the dash cams that the majority of trucking companies have in their trucks, to exonerate us. Heck, We don't even have access to those dash cams. Only the safety department of the company does. And even though Were performing a skilled trade in which we had to receive training, like actual schooling, testing, re-testing, going out on the road with a Mentor &
implement our trade 11 hours every day, plus know our trucks inside & out, thanks to the mandatory DAILY pre-trip & post-trip inspections, DOT surprise inspections, etc....any accident happens & it's US that have to prove our innocence or risk an entire career & financial burden it cost us...all because someone didn't want to take responsibility for causing an accident because they were distracted driving because they were texting their teenager (or work, or insert whichever applies in your situation)
AND, it's a little presumptuous to assume everyone driving is going out to buy a NEW car. And many are a lot older than 10 years old. Mine is for sure. My money goes into my truck, not my 4 wheeler that I drive less than 48 hours a month when I'm lucky enough to get home time
Yea.. I wouldn't hold your breath.. we just got the backup camera approved as standard equipment
Tesla’s have cameras all over them
In case you missed it, you bring the wire up here and then tuck it in _here,_ then bring it over here... and it's hidden. Got it?
Wait here or here?
No, THERE. Jesus…
@@churoism haha, started laughing out loud!
"It doesn't reach...so now it's no longer hidden. Just use electrical tape."
What's happening "here"? 😅 Nice vid.
I was expecting this to be WAY harder, I thought "Man, i'm gonna have to unscrew some screws and pull of plaster panels, maybe I need some special tools."-
I'm glad I found this video while searching for tutorials online, it was simple.
1:14 about that, I think the airbag goes above and across those crack line all the way to b-pillar which means that your wire is in the way. That is really dangerous.
Thank you; I’ve been driving with dangling cables for 2 years and I just did it now, at 10pm in 5 minutes and it’s worlds apart 👌🏿
I did use a tool (a paint can lid opener) which I ran down the seams as I pushed in the trailing cord. And I also used this in a car without side curtain airbags. With the addition of a lid opener and with no airbags to compromise, this is a great video!
You are the man that I have been looking for.
The only one I saw who installed the camera at the rear plastic trim of the mirror and I see it works fine. This is instead of the wind shield.
Thank you, your video and instructions helped me out tremendously! I was getting anxiety driving and seeing that mess of wires on my dash
Great videos!!! Watched about a half dozen videos on dash cam installation and hiding the wires. Yours is the one I went with. Installed it today. No tools. All my wires absolutely hidden expect the tiny bit that hooks up to the dash cam on top of the windshield. I have a 2015 Acura ILX.
Damn, glad I found this one first. Dreading it, but hope it works in my 2010 Hyundai
You are an excellent teacher. I love all the “here’s” and with your great teaching skills you can use whatever words you like. 😂❤
Awesome video. Was looking at getting a dash cam and the video from the manufacturer just glossed over this step of the setup process without providing any real details about how this is accomplished. Thanks for filling in the gap for me.
Dude, u have non idea how this video helped. I was gonna go a long, none effective and hard way but u gave me a very easy and best idea. I didn't even know what I typed to find this video but this is exact what I was looking for. Thank u.
I went ahead and jumped forward a bit but overall it's a good informative video that helps people that might be daunted with this job.
Excellent - Just installed a Garmin mini into a 2013 UK model RR Evoque sport exactly as you showed. There were other vids doing a major dismantle of trims and airbag housings and special tools - I had this done virtually invisibly in 15 mins start to finish. Just gently levered up the centre consul mouldings with a clean screwdriver and pushed in the cable with a plastic pen top! Thanks WorldofTech
Love how your car interior just pops off for you, wish mine wasn't like a surgical experience
Super easy! Thank you. Can’t believe I even considered having someone else install it when it’s this simple.
Barely an inconvenience!
Great video! I did it exactly as you said and the installation was perfect. You are a good man. Thank you!
Maybe read the comments about the airbag deployment
Thank you so much! This was very informative!
Dude, love it! It was so easy and looks clean as heck. I’m gonna try it with my rear cam too
I restarted this just to count how many times he says "here" and only now, noticed the last comment asking for the "here" count. So, HERE it is: 57. For what it's worth, he only says "there" 8 times.
You inspired me to get off my butt and install cameras in both cars. It took a little longer than 5 mins lol, but it got done a heck of a lot quicker with your guidance. Thanks again!
Thank you. My only concern about getting a dash cam was the wires. Figured you could just tuck them away and you reassured me
Thank you!! I been searching high and low for a good vid that clearly showed how to hide the cables. Found it really easily too install, although I wasn’t too anal about the cords along the bottom of the glove box so I just hid it under the floor mat. Thanks heaps :)
Very informative,hella straightforward! thanks for sharing the technique!
Worked like a charm. Thanks ever so much. Saved me a huge headache and looks great!!
Who else is waiting for the "HERE" count? Great video though!
55 'here" don't thank me.
reminds me of the “apparently” kid
This is the most helpful video I’ve ever watched!! I didn’t think it’d work on my car cause every cars different but it actually worked! I didn’t want to use those adhesive hooks because in the summer it melts them and leaves a residue on your car that’s impossible to get off! I’m so happy thank you for this video!!
Try ether. It should break down the glue. Protect your dashboard tough
Thanks this video helped me confirm on how I can go about installing my first dashcam myself.
Very nice thnk you! I had visions of a horrible cable hanging from my windshield lol therefore I wasnt installing the dash cam that my partner gave me when he gets home it will be installed and he will be one happy man. thank you
Excellent & straight to the point!
Thanks for sharing bro...👍🏻🗽😎
147 times you said "here".
How many times did he say "there" though... 😄
Hahaha
LOL! While watching the video, I was thinking along the same lines. I was thinking of a drinking game and taking a shot every time he said "Here" 😆
If he was Beyonce itd be a hit song
Thanks so much! This video helped me a lot! I even figured out how to hide the cables for the rear cam, too!
Useful video. Y'day I bought a navman MiVUE750 WiFi. This helped to hide the wire code. Otherwise it would have been really messy in my car. Thank you for sharing this tip.
Did this today. Super easy. Thanks for sharing.
I just attempted this on my new '22 legacy and it works like a charm!! Thank you!! no more dangling wires haha
I'm not gonna lie I just bought a 2018 legacy and it was so much tighter in the front then my 2011 Avenger I was worried about damaging something so I looked it up first lol
You rock! Thanks, just did it in my car, took me 5 minutes, and looks great 👍👍
Omg thanks dude. I was doing what ur friend did, but couldn't get the stuff to stay on especially in the cold. Just got a little bit of wire to tape down and then I'm solid.
You made it look very easy. I hope I can do it like that.
That was easy, done in 10 minutes!
Thanks for the video
This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!!
Yay! Ray Romano!! Just kidding bro, your voice just reminded me of his. Cool video!
If a car company just put a damn USB port near the back of the rear view mirror that would solve everything.
Great video, do you have a video on how to install a rear camera? I have a REVERSE CAMERA mirror.
Thanks dude. Made the process super simple. Did mine and my dad's car thanks to you 😁👍🏾
There's a reason they tell you never to obstruct the airbag. If the airbag deploys it will shoot that cable at the passengers at 200 mph. This install is incredibly dangerous in any vehicle with side curtain airbags.
I wondered about that. Guess I gotta find a video that explains that bit better.
I debated this as putting mine in .. what other option is there really? Even if u don’t tuck it in u have to go by the air bag ?
@@joshhancock9563 do your research and properly remove trim and run wires behind airbags if you need to.. zip tie them to the chasis or existing wiring but never fasten them to the airbags or obstruct the air bags. But it is best to avoid those areas of the car if possible
Who is driving 200 mph only in Germany not in America 🇺🇸 smh
@@casperaudi7476 people are saying 200MPH would be the impact force of the cable due to the airbag deploying…
Thank you Ray Romano, I needed this video.
This actually worked, thanks for the video!
Took me about 5 mins. I had to make adjustments because my car has a different layout but thanks for the video!
You're a national treasure bro
amazing that there isn't a easier fix for this. Why isn't there a power outlet behind the mirror? Hiding longe wires fra dash cam has been a problem for 20 years.
Cheers , was a nice easy little hack thats worked perfecr for me and took only a couple of minutes to do
Thanks for the video man I finally installed it and took like 3 mins cause of you
Thanks! The passage under the casket was a mystery to me. But I'll still look underneath to see if there's somewhere to tuck it in.
Cool… gonna do this tomorrow! Thanks 👌🏻
thanks bro did this to my toyota hilux 2020 and it looks great! Used duct tape to tuck the wire at the bottom 😅.
Made it simple .. Thanks !
damn what a well made, concise video. Thank you!
in fact we're on the highway right now and going "we need a dashcam!" :) Cheers
Wow. This makes me feel super bad about procrastinating this fast for 2 years. Thanks for the help
Will a 10 ft cable do the job or a longer is needed??
Great video!.....
Onlything, is now you must choose between lightning the DashCam or the Cellphone
I have two, one in the dash, the other is in the console.
That's why I'm going to hardwire mine
Thanks I've done this before nicely explained
This is the easy way to hide wires. I will do tomorrow to my X3. Thanks.
Where the wire tucks behind the window cushion mine is too wide and the wire just drops down. Any other suggestions to keep it in place? I have tried the sticky hooks but they come away from the glass in winter because of condensation.
Nice and clean! Thank you!
Absolute genius, just wish I'll be brave enough to do this
Thanks for the video! Very insightful, helpful, and inspiring.
Just show it some manly love😂 great video! Thanks man!
Helpful idea 👍😊
I bought this dash cam based on this review. Thank you.
Thank You 🙏 So Much that was a great tutorial 😊
Awesome video, thanks !
Not a good idea to cross the a-pillar trim as the curtain airbag pushes out from underneath this trim. Crossing the a-pillar is very likely to interfere with airbag deployment. You should take the a-pillar trim off and secure the cable such that it can’t interfere (keep it on the forward side of any part of the airbag). At a minimum, see if you can tuck it between the windshield and the a-pillar trim, NOT the door side of it.
I thought this when installing mine (before watching this vid) but u have to go by the air Bag Area so there’s really no other option
@@joshhancock9563 just take out the a-pillar trim, better safe than sorry when you get in a crash and then airbag is useless🙃
This is absoulutely right
psi of airbag deployment is so high a cable isnt gonna affect it
Lucahz it won’t, but the wire then becomes a bullet in a crash. Just take off trim and place the wire behind
Thanks..great instructions
Hear, hear! Awesome job!
U are awesome, ty for this tutorial!!
This vid so simple but it saved me
Nice Job! Looks awesome
Thanks, very helpfull video
That was awesome, I wanna route a cable from digital speedometer to the cigarette lighter socket in the boot (leaving the interior one free), probably won't be easy though.
Does hiding the cable under the weatherproof strip hurt the waterproofing and cause water leakage?
To aid in hiding wire very similar to your installation I’ve used shipping popcorn to help wedge the wire like on the top of the windshield.
huh?
Very helpful. Appreciate this!
My dash cam mini usb wire has only two colours. Black and white. When I spliced Black with Black and White with Red to another data USB to get a power extension, it only gives a flickering screen. What is the case when power USB wire has only Black and White wire as explained above? Thanks in advance.
That's Excellent, Thanks!
Thank you!!!
amazing!! Thank you :)
This man is a genius
Great HELP Thank You!!!!🙏🏾
I think your voice has the capslock key stuck on.
heheh
but thanks for the video! it's great.
I'm just gonna go ahead and give this video a thumbs up.
nice ! I guess it should be about as simple for the back camera
What about the curtain airbags. My dash cam has huge warnings about not tucking wires if you have curtain airbags.
What did you end up doing
Don't follow this advice. The wire goes OVER the curtain airbag. If airbag gets deployed, the cable will pop out, and with the airbag speed, it may pull the camera with force and hit you or something, and you may have a liability issue. The correct way is to remove the A-pillar trim, and put the cables so that they go below the airbag (there are usually other cables there you can follow), and don't get in the way. Be carefull because A-pillar removal, in some cars, should be done with care. Some have some "snaps" tethers that if you pull too hard, they break, and you have to replace them. Check for other videos on how to do that, it can be done without breaking them. But don't be lazy and do it like in the video. It's stupid.
I did not even think about that thank you, do you recommend any other videos?
@@RingaTech too many people giving dangerous advice......
@@TimeforchangeTrudeaumustgoEndb I had my wife sign a waiver, I’m good.
Appreciate this!
Thanks a lot really I appreciate it.
If you do this same thing only on the drivers side, it’ll work much better and won’t tamper with the airbag. Much safer, and amazing tutorial.
Good job bro
Nice tip...
Wow, thanks for this super video 🙂
Ooo, good tip thnx
