Thanks for the video, it helped me hardwire my Viofo A229 pro using the HK4 kit which is virtually identical to the HK3. Thanks again & subscribed 👍🏼
You're welcome ERS and welcome to the channel!
Hello, I also have the A229 Pro 2CH with the hardwire kit. I advise you if this is not done, to put the latest firmware from February 27, it solved a problem of missing images (which also prevented me from concatenating the videos with software). Other bugs are fixed and features added...
One important advantage of this Hardwire Kit vs the others, is that the huge majority are pre set to 11.8 or 12V. Something that standard car batteries really really hate is to go bellow 50% State or Charge because it literally kills the life of the battery. That 50% is reached around 12 to 12.2V, only deep cycle batteries can go lower than that but yet, not lower than 11.8V. If you don't want to kill your battery, stick to this kind of Hardwire Kits with selectors, right now there are a few of those with USB-C. Mine should reach today 🙂 but sadly my Wolfbox G840H got delayed until next week 😞
Which selection would you recommend on this kit? Or does it depend on the car?
@autofun . I’m a touch confused. I have a Toguard CE70.
REGARDING a hardwire kit. My outlet wire is only two wire. Blk/red.
Do I need only a two wire kit. Or the 3 wire with ACC/BATT/GRD ? ANY ADICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU
Hi Denis! Some dash cams require a 3 wire hardwire kit and some use a 2 wire kit. I would recommend for the installer to refer to the instructions that came with your dash cam to confirm which is the right hardwire kit for it. And here is my follow up video where I explain the different hardwire kits out there, and what features to look for when buying one ua-cam.com/video/Yky9_tTvwMc/v-deo.html Cheers!
Thank you for the response. The cam was gifted to me. So I will have to pull up the manual online. Thanks again. And your videos are very informative to us who are in need of some friendly tech guidance.@@AlexAutoFun
@socomt5 You're welcome Denis and thank you!
Thabnks for sharing. Do you know if ACC wire in is used only as a sensor, taking power always from red wire? In a motorhome setup with two batteries (engine and leisure), sharing ground but positive isolated, is it possible to power it from leisure battery and connnect acc to engine’ s battery acc without “linking” batteries?
You're welcome Marco! Ah yes normally ACC is used to understand if the vehicle is On or Off. While it maybe possible to connect ACC to a separate battery (that can provide the ACC signal), I'm not sure if there could be any issues as I'm not familiar with dual battery setups. You may be able to contact Viofo for their advice or your installer may also have a better recommendation. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks! I submitted a ticket to viofo support team asking about it
@@marcotrotamundos You're welcome and please let us know what you find. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun common ground between batteries. Power from leisure battery +, acc from engine’s battery +. That’s what viofos support has confirmed to be ok
Awesome, thanks for keeping us updated, Cheers!@@marcotrotamundos
How. Can I know what fuse should I put for the hardwire kit? (The upper slot)
I have the same question
Hi Matan! You're installer can determine the correct fuse to be used based on the hardwire load, safety factor desired and other considerations that are normally taken when determined the fuse on a circuit. Alternatively, if you contact the the manufacturer of the hardwire kit, they usually can recommend a fuse rating to use. Cheers!
Is it ok to take a 30amp fuse out and put it in With a 5 amp fuse for the cam is there a limit and do I need to check the voltage? there are still some questions
Hi Dom! Ah remember a functional fuse tap creates 2 separate independent circuits (each one with a different amp rating partially determined by fuses that are loaded into the each fuse slot in the fuse tap, the car's internal wiring and current load on the circuit to be tapped) So they are each independent of each other (since the fuse taps hold 2 fuses) each one driving it's own load. Here is another video ua-cam.com/video/Qzw9yUYN7zo/v-deo.html where I explain how fuse taps work in more detail and here is my full hardwire video ua-cam.com/video/uZp95NbNlmM/v-deo.html Cheers!
