How to Hardwire a 3 Channel dash Camera (Viofo A139) in a 2021 Toyota Highlander
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2021
- After being told my dash camera footage wasn't good enough to prove fault of another driver responsible for damaging my vehicle, I upgrade to a 3 dash camera system. In this video I hardwire this Viofo a139 3 channel dash camera inside of my brand new 2021 Toyota highlander. You can apply this method to pretty much any vehicle. Like comment and subscribe.

My sister just bought a new 2022 Toyota Highlander. Less than 1,000 miles, She has two item hit the front windshield on the freeway (item from a truck). Just installed a camera this weekend. Thanks for the information.
Anytime!
Great video man. Clear, concise, and you anticipated questions and answered them unlike some other video posters.
And that woman who hit your SO? Hopefully there's a grease fire somewhere that she'll stumble into. FEAR THE KAREN
Thank you! I appreciate this feedback
I have the same model of the Highlander. May I ask which fuse did you used for constant power, ACC, and where you ground the wires?
The grounding wire is connected to the car's chassis. Find any bolt, loosen it, and then tighten it.
Great video! I have this set up myself and it works really well. Your video was one of the tipping points for me as to which camera to get as I had my eye on this one.
Choosing the right micro SD card is vital (Samsung Pro Endurance) with at least 128G to hold the video files. I think that the app works well also. Thanks again!
OMG, my brother thank you so much, you made it easy to install so now I can install it myself. so I can install 2system and make it an all-around system setup. YES !!!!
"mY hUsBaNdS a LaWyEr " Nice video. I'm installing an A129 Duo Plus soon!
Great Video! Just installed mine in my F150. When I get the time I have the hardwire kit and will install that too. Will use your video as my guide. Thanks!
Happy you found it helpful! Let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy
Cool video. Thx. Greets from Mainz (DE)
Which fuse is more safer to connect constan fuse in this highlander?
Super Informative...Great work.
Thank you!
the internal camera is good for lateral impacts (shopping carts, cars, door hits while parked). it also triggers in park mode. btw the reply that the insurance requires rear cam is BS, they just play to see if it would stick. if you persuade with a reply of a lawsuit, they will budge.
Thank you! You’re 100% right. I wish I pursued this more through our legal system, just on principle, but since the damages were so small it wasn’t worth my time or energy.
@@Edward3jr that is true, sometimes the time spent on that would be better invested elsewhere, such as making this video. thanks for sharing the experience.
Nice rides at the end of this video
Thank you!
Great video...sad why u had to make it but yes we have 2 find a silver lining in all situations and that would be getting a dash cam. I have a 2012 Denali and was able 2 capture a break in of a vehicle at my work...Sadly they had no front license plate cause they stopped right in front of my SUV and when they drove off there speed was to fast to get a clear image only got a blurred license plate. It was clear to get a full description of the car. So even that was good enough for me 2 help the lady who's truck was broken into. She did hand it over 2 police....Hope you have more peace of mind as i do with this same Dash came...thanks again for your video and God bless..takecare n bsafe 🙏
I think u should adjust the position of the interior camera. The position is causing blind spots especially on the passenger side. A good positioned interior camera can take the place of the rear camera but not the other way around. Having a proper view of the sides is invaluable in a side-on event that none of the other cameras can replicate.
This is an Excellent recommendation!
I installed one in my Highlander in July. Device in on the passenger side and internal camera right above the rearview.
I need to play with the internal cam some more, I may need to lower it some
@@Edward3jrit looks good where it's at
Love your chanelle man
Thank you!
In my point of view, interior camera covers your sides, blind points so it is curucial. Good job. I wonder if it is possible to use all cameras in parking mode in same time. Thanks.
Yes parking mode uses all cameras! Thank you for pointing out the blond points covered with the interior camera.
Great video. Just installed this today. My yellow wire is labeled ACC and my red wire is labeled Battery. Did they put the stickers on the wrong wires on your set? On the viofu website, the picture shows yellow for ACC and red for Battery. Did you have any problems with parking mode?
also, check out the voltage cutoff module - www.viofo.com/img/cms/HK3-C/1_05.jpg
@@RideshareGenius you’re a genius and this makes so much sense now! 😂😂😂. My parking mode does not work, but I figured I had to play with the camera settings. I never considered I had acc and constant backwards. I’ll switch those to around and test parking mode.
From your experience, when you shut the car off does the cam turn off? Or should the lights be on (record, mic, and gps…)? Right now everything is off, so when I switch them Im curious to see what happens. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
@@Edward3jr VIOFO tried to make it extra hard for you by mislabeling those wires! After I set parking mode on in the app, when I turn the car off, there’s a voice notification saying “parking mode recording on” or something like that. I did have to play with the voltage cutoff (currently have it set to 12.0) and still playing with all of settings because I just got it today. You should be able to just swap your fuse taps, right? (Just make sure to switch out those primary fuses if they’re different - i used two 7.5s on my car but I think I saw you tapped into one 20 and one 7.5)
@@Edward3jr forgot to mention, yes, camera lights stay on when I turn the car off and voice notification says “parking mode recording” but oddly WiFi will not turn on in parking mode
@@RideshareGenius could you please take a photo to show how you connected to the fuse box in your Highlander? I don’t have a circuit tester to figure out ACC fuses but I suppose fuse box should be the same. Thanks
Great information and details
Questions about tapping fuse wires. Did you use same type for both wires, which you had link at end of posting
Thank you! Great question, yes same type for both. Let me know if you have more question
Thank for replying.
Do you use MICRO 2 MINI, MINI, ATC OR ATS. THERE ARE 4 TYPE ON THE LINK YOU PROVIDED BELOW. SOME CAR WITH YOURS
@@hikinglover1048 those are options depending on what you need. in this Toyota Highlander this is what will work shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/littelfuse-holder-low-profile-mini-add-a-circuit-10a-card-fhlm0200zpa/11499058-P?ET&TRANSTRNSCT&A_EC_TX_ITMCAN&ITEM
Nice job. Couple questions, did the 2 fuse taps come with dash cam? What is the size of the fuses? I see the link says micro 2 mini. are those the low profile ones?
Sadly the fuse taps are not included with the dash camera. You can add them to your kart at check out. And yes the fuse taps in this video are low profile ones. But it really depends on what your car uses. Let me know if you have more questions!
@@Edward3jrThanks again! You're the only 2021 Highlander I was able to find with good clear instructions..I just installed my dash cam yesterday in my 2021 Highlander..I love it! I actually found the low profile Littelfuse brand fuse taps at O'Reilly's auto parts for $7.49 each plus they came with 4 different size amp fuses. What I was wondering is now that the fuse box cover no longer can cover the fuses because of the 2 fuse taps, have you thought or seen any websites that sell deeper ones that can fit to cover the fuses with fuse taps? I've found several sites that sell extended covers for Tacoma's but not Highlanders. I'm ok with it but wifey kinda doesn't like the idea that they're not covered even though you can't even see them.🙄
@@guitarhero9592 I’m happy to hear you found my video helpful. The fuse panel cover bothers me too. I’m thinking about relocating harness wein the engine bay after the winter. There will be plenty of room to run and neatly tuck them. I’m not aware of taller lids at the moment. If you find something please let me know. Thank you again for watching and commenting.
@@Edward3jr yeah I noticed the engine compartment fuse boxes are tall enough. But yeah I'll let you know if I find taller covers for Highlanders.. Ebay and Etsy has Tacoma ones. I'm gonna contact the Etsy sellers and ask if they also do Highlanders and how much. I'll let you know man.
@@guitarhero9592 thank you!
I just bought this dash cam. How is everything holding up especially with parking mode and making sure all 3 cameras are working together??? Also anyone that has used it for several months please feel free to answer. The reviews for many dash cams seem hit or miss.
Great video. Quick question my friend. Are the fuse taps you're using universal? I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I need parking mode with my A139 dash cam and I want to make sure it doesn't kill my battery. I already have the hardwire kit.
This is a good question, If your grand Cherokee uses mini fuses, this fuse tap will work for you. You just have to find out what fuse size you need (standard, mini, low profile mini, etc…) and buy the fuse tap for that size. According to VIOFO, Parking mode should not kill your battery. I had this same concern initially and so far I have not had any issues yet. Let me know if you have any questions about this!
I forgot to mention, you can buy fuse taps at advance auto parts. They call them fuse holders. You will find it in their fuse section. They look like this. This would be a mini low profile.

@@Edward3jrThank you for the quick reply and thorough explanation. I'll keep you updated as I am having it done this month.
@@lagstorm1 sounds good!
My inside fuse box is full. Do I have to run it out to my under the hood fuse box?
How can install the power cables if I don't have the fuse adapters?
You would have to order them. It’s called a fuse tap. You can find them on Amazon or advance auto parts
What does the Viofo139 use as the power cable? I have a thinkware fashcam hardwired in, so I wonder if they use the same cable since I want a 3 way dash cam
I believe as long as it’s a type c connection it will work. But fore reference here’s the hardwire kit. www.viofo.com/en/accessories/211-type-c-hk3-c-hardwire-kit-cable-for-a139-2ch3ch-dash-camera.html
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thanks
I did all steps of installation and setting
But parking mode didn’t work
What is the problem?
So the red and yellow wires were mislabeled from the factory. Red wire was labeled acc but this is constant aka battery. Yellow should be acc. Switch these two around and your parking mode should work. Make sure red wire is on Constant and yellow is on acc
@@Edward3jr I did it
it works
Thanks
@@fahadalsweleh6542 awesome! Sorry about that!
what size fuse goes into the fuse tap for the hard wire???
10
My cam always turn off after 2-3 minutes in parking mode. Someone knows why?
Probably have to switch the wires, if they are backwards or mislabeled like mine were
@@Edward3jr i tried that but after that the dashcam will record all the time and wont switch into the parking mode. I'll try to change into the 11,8 V option on the hardwire kit. Maybe that will help
What did you set the battery stop charge on the hardwire kit?
Can it be connected to a separate battery
Does the rear camera have parking mode sensor too?
Yes!
👍👍😊
I was in a similar situation, this will never ever happen again with a Dashcam
It’s sad that you even need to have something like this. But yes, hopefully, this will never happen again. 🤞
Love the video! Do you know how long it records with a 128 GB micro sd card?
Thank you! With parking mode, it’s like 1-2 days max. With out parking mode it might be a little longer
Although it has an ACC connection, it will have always power? I want it to run 24/7.
You need to have a constant connection in order to have power always. Acc is only on when ignition is on.
@@Edward3jr So placing the acc cable into a constant power fuse spot will do it?
@@mdnmep okay I think I understand you now. The answer to your question is no.
Initially I had this wired incorrectly because the cables were mislabeled. I had acc on constant and constant on acc. My parking mode didn’t work until I switched them.
Try putting acc on a constant. If it doesn’t work you’ll need to buy a wire in kit from Amazon that has both.
H265 is available if you long press the mute button to toggle it on/off
Thank you this is good to know!
I just received this camera and know nothing about video compression. What's the benefit of doing this?
I wondered how to turn it off because my computer can hardly edit or play it back lol
👍
Yup get a 3 channel cam system
It’s a no brainer these days

Useless comment 😎
This is why I hate people! You did nothing wrong and miss entitled plays the I did nothing” card! Hope she gets Tboned!
