Hi Robin, Thanks for sharing this video. I followed each and every step you described and I was able to install a dashcam in my Kushaq with no wires visible. As you mentioned the technique is very important and I kept that in my mind while doing this. Thanks again for sharing this.This helped me a lot
@@UpendraAhire unfortunately, i didn't record any video. But you can follow this video. I followed everything step by step but i skipped drilling part in the boot and hardwiring.
This is really great. You mentioned hard wiring won't affect Skoda warranty. My dealer manager said it would impact the car warranty if anything happens. Just 2 days back i bought one and need to install the same. I don't want to use cigarette lighter socket because it is continuously on and may drain battery.
They are just "sellers”. Most of managers at dealer don’t know brands policies. They say no to everything that we want to get done outside their business. Anyways, this is connected to fuse box and not to any electronic component that too without cutting any wires!
Hi you may make connections by following mapping - ACC - Fuse# 43 - Rear window wiper VCC - Fuse# 52 - 12 Volt Socket Lai ke rabb da naa...Chakk do kamm nu!
Thanks. The DIY was very confidence inspiring and to the point. I like this kind of no-bullshit video. Wish you success for your future vlogs. What's the make and model of your dashcam. And approx cost.
Hello, I have installed dashcam for my Taigun from the showroom which will work for parking mode as well. But parking mode is draining car battery if i dont use the car for 3 days.. Is there any way to stop recording for parking mode which will not drain the battery
@@vishnupremp6067 Hi, check in manual if dashcam has a feature to turn off itself when battery level goes below a certain level. Dashcam that I have has this option. There are 3 different battery levels I can choose from. It turns off after battery goes below that level
@ghairobin Thanks for the reply brother. My dashcam doesn't have that feature. While i was going through some other hardwiring manual i found ACC fuse 45 which will on only when the ignition is on. Do you know if i can use that so that it will not drain the battery?
@@vishnupremp6067 You should use any fuses for items that remain turn off state once ignition is turned off. Both ACC and VCC. But this way you won't get parking mode recording.
I have done the same thing with taigun. Only thing I am confused is about hardwiring. Which port did you use. I guess skoda and vw has same thing that accessories are always on after ignition switches off. And the weather protection cover in boot. I removed the rubber protection but unable to put it back in the place. How did you do it?
Hi Rahul I used following fuses - ACC - Fuse# 43 - Rear window wiper VCC - Fuse# 52 - 12 Volt Socket Am sorry not able follow which rubber protection you are referring to.
@@ghairobin sorry i was not able to explain clearly. From rear roof wires are routed to boot door through the small hole through which you are suggesting to take the USB out into the door. This group of wires is covered with a rubber tube connecting rear to boot door on the top left. Talking about that rubber tube wire cover. Hope I am clear now 😅
@@DrawnpedalMight have simply passed the wiring of rear camera thru d tunnel of the black hosing with all original wiring including for rear defogger.
can you please post the videos from the dash cam and also please make videos of how to remove each part. some of us can be cave men and break these panels if not pulled the right way, since you have already set it up, it would be better if you show us. would the service center folks help do this? let's say i circumvent the rule of voiding warranty
Great work !! Does service centre say it will void warranty when u go for annual service of your car !! Did they notice that you installed hardwiring ??
Hi Robin. Thanks for sharing this. Quick question. Instead of hardwiring it, can we just buy a good battery bank (MI 10000 MAH) and plug the dashcam to it? Do we have good space behind the dashboard console to hide it? That way the installation will look more cleaner. Wanted to hear your thoughts?
Hi Thomaskutty, There is a enough space in dashboard console. However, you would need adapter that will convert dashcam wire connectors to USB. Also, I am not sure how long 10000mAh will last. Though, there is a battery pack that Nexdigitron offers if someone doesn't want to hardwire and intends to use parking monitoring. I am not promoting Nexdigitron but giving a solution.
@@ghairobin I did see that one .The black box you mentioned still needs Harwiring for charging and since they are Li Phosphate its bulky and big. All the new dashcams in the market has Type A to charge and Type C port in Dashcam. This will work very well with portable batteries like the MI 10000 mah pocket. Will let you know how long I get the back up once I start using it seriously.
@@kuttyte Hey Thomas, I believe the battery banks are avoided because of the safety reasons. That's why most dashcams comes with super capacitor battery instead of lithium batteries.
@@zybernaunot really ... Nexdigitron previously supplied EV-grade (means stable with high temperature & high discharge rates), but to charge with alternator is tricky as alternator will conk out early
@@manoj.i.j nice to know, Also it would be excellent, if nex digi tron supplies an insurance in case if car is on fire. Also, you know how much temperature increase in dashboard wind screen on a parked car in typical indian tropical summer.
Hi, The terminals which you have used for Acc 43 and Vcc 52. Can we use spare fuse numbers ? How to know if supply persist even after ignition is off for Vcc. Thanx In advance.
Hi Sankalp, There is fuse diagram given in manual. You can refer to find location of #43 and #52 fuses. I could think of few things that have power supply with ignition turned off - Cigarette lighter, USB outlets and centre locking. You can use fuse belonging to anyone of them.
@@ghairobin thanks Robin.. the video is very informative, especially the rear wiring u did is fantastic.. but would be nice if the video contained the original routing by removing panels , because people like me may loose patience and break things..
@@antonymathew Thanks Antony. Agree that it requires patience. It is job of” method” not power. This is what my younger brother kept reminding me(😀) when I took up this task. Though he kept himself away from touching anything since he himself was nervous about breaking the things.
I have done the same installation process in my taigun but as soon as i turn of the ignition the cam also shuts down. Im using 70mai 500 pro set up. I have changed the settings to parking mode an also turned on time lapse photography. Kindly help
Hi, I may be wrong but looks like you have got VCC connection wrong. Try connecting VCC to a fuse of outlet that has power even after ignition is off. e.g. 12V socket
sir thanks for video, ASC people were telling that warranty will be void in case you bring some wire behind A pillar plastic and in any case short happens.
Hi, I got first service done. They told me it is okay to install dashcams if there is no wires are cut. They themselves are selling dashcams now in dealerships now!
Hi, I am using Elegant Royal 7D Car Floor Mat. I requested them use black colored threads for diamond shape stiching. I did not opt for grass mat that they supply along with it. I am using Skoda mats(came with kit) instead of grass mats.
Hi, I have just finished the PDI of Kushaq. Parking is a big issue in Delhi. Due to open parking, surveillance is utmost priority for me. I have zeroed in on Viofo T130 which seems quite premium with 3 channels. But I know squat about cars and don’t feel comfortable with DIY. Would it be better to get it done by some accessory installation expert? Also I would prefer getting it hardwired via a fuse tap so that I can uninstall it before going for service just to avoid the warranty void crap from service centre. Can you please guide which ports on the fuse box I would have to use? Also does fuse tap adapter comes along with the dashcam. Viofo T130 product page doesn’t say anything about it. I’m probably asking a stupid question here and there is no such thing as fuse tap adaptor. Please clarify.
Hi Mohi, Viofo offers installation at home in major cities in India as fas as I know. You can find more info regarding installation on their website. Hard wired dashcams do not lead to warranty getting void. I have got my car serviced with dashcam installed and visible. Infact, Skoda dealers are selling dashcams themselves. Fuses engaged - ACC - Fuse#43 - Rear window wiper VCC - Fuse# 52 - 12 volt socket
@@ghairobin Hi Robin, which city and which SC did you visit for service. I love in Noida and wanting to get a confirmation from Skoda SC (anywhere in NCR) if hardwiring a Dashcam will void warranty or not. Can we write to Skoda Care to get an official confirmation

@@ghairobin oh, thats convincing, But have you mentioned or inquired about it with the service manager or somebody from the company about it just to be dead sure?
Very well done and your English (i assume it’s your second language) is superb! Are you happy with this device? Are there any noticeable drawbacks? Would you buy this cam again within that price range (22k)?
Thank you! This is first time when someone is commending my English😀 This dashcam, so far, has met my expectations. I wish it had Auto event detection recording in parking mode as it is offered by some other manufacturers. I knew this before making the purchase. I went with it because of latest sensor. 2nd thing that I miss is the remote support to prevent some clips from being overwritten. You got to press a button in dashcam itself in order to make it happen which, in my opinion, can be distracting while driving. Had there been remote support, one could place the remote at convenient place and make use of it without having to take eyes off road. Hope this helps.
In parking mode, it consumes minimal battery and it has feature that automatically shuts the camera off when battery level goes below certain level in parking mode.
