Wouldn't it make more sense to do the following INSTEAD:
[BEFORE attaching anything to windows]
1. Attach rear camera to cable and attach cable to dashcam
2. Connect the 12v to 12v power to temporarily power up the dashcam
3. Connect dashcam to WIFI and view the VIDEO ON THE CELLPHONE.
4. THEN using the CELLPHONE, align the rear camera so it SHOWS ON THE SCREEN THAT IT'S CORRECTLY LINED UP and STICK camera to rear windshield
5. THEN again viewing thru CELLPHONE VIEWER, align the dashcam so its aligned correctly on the front windshield.
6. THEN you can follow the rest of the steps (hiding rear cable), and hiding front cable OR converting to hardwired setup.
To me this seems more smarter because you cannot tell where the camera is showing just by eyeing it on the windshield. If you attached everything and stuck on, if you discovered it was off center, or slightly not-aligned, you would have to pull it off and reattach it.... It's better to use a viewer to actually SEE what exactly the camera will be filming.
I’ve been looking for a video like yours for the U-1000. Thank you very much my friend!!!
I realize Im kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream new movies online ?
@Adam Harlan Try FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
@@adamharlan8422 😂
Got great help..
😊
Thanks
We are happy to hear that, thank you for mentioning it.
Great video
Great video!I have a Peugeot RCZ 2010 and would love advice on hardwire best location fuse box whatever.Keep up the the good work.
Unfortunately, we only have wiring information for vehicles sold in the North American market. Sorry about that
perfectly clear instruction. For taping into existing wire do they have a pinch connector or something so we dont have to strip the wire
We don't recommend using t-taps or other similar connectors due to their poor reliability and their propensity to damage the wiring when connecting with them.
At 5:40 when you start to strip wire so you can connect to it..... wouldn't using a instant-tap connector be easier?
Great video. Are you guys restocking the OBD cable?
Sometimes we have them on one site and not another. Currently we do have them on our Stinger Off Road website. See the link below. Hope this helps
stingeroffroad.com/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage&q=hwk
Great review! Thank you very much! By any chance do you know the voltage and current requirements(consumption) for the camera? Thanks
Sorry I don't have the camera power consumption specification. The system does run on 12 volts. But the actual current consumed would depend on the recording options. The Thinkware dash cams do have voltage sensing protection options to keep them from draining a vehicle's battery over a long period of time.
@@cartecknow1817 Hi, Im worried if it can withstand extreme cold? I live where it gets -40 to -50 (winter). Will it affect my car battery if hard wired? Thanks
What’s the module for? And is it necessary🤔 Or what’s the negative for not getting it?
Thank you! Very helpful
Thank you for sharing the video, I just purchased the same unit w/ the OBD II wiring harness, when you were installing the rear camera that also plus’s into the front camera correct?
Thanks again
Yes, the cable routed to the front from the rear camera connects to the rear camera input on the main unit up front.
@@cartecknow1817
Thank you for getting back to me.
Do we need to worry about blocking any potential airbag curtain deployment when hiding the wire like how you do at 03:21 ? Great video
If your vehicle application has curtain airbags, care should always be taken when running wires near them. If you have any questions as to them possibly interfering with the deployment of the airbags, we would recommend consulting a professional installer for your and your passengers' safety.
Hi, I am wondering if you ran the rear camera cable down to the side panel first, and then run it over to your main module, keeping all the excess wiring in the side panel?
Yes, it will be easier with that wire to keep the excess up front vs. tucking it into the headliner.
Hi buddy thank u so much for ur video. I was jus wondering how closely radar shud be installed, does it only needs to be attached jus close to cam like you did or attaching next to vehicle radar sensor is fine.
I have attached in kluger hybrid where on right side is the cam and left side is radar and in between is the toyota senser.
The further away from metal objects the better detection you will get from the unit.
If one chooses not to hard wire it for parking mode and go the easier route ,does one have the optiom of removing it at night due to high crime areas ? Is there a mount for it on Amazon or something .
A SunPass! It’s the number one thing to look for when knowing your dealing with a Floridian. That as well as a Publix shopping bag!!
Ha!!! You nailed it. One of our facilities is in Florida. And nothing beats a Publix sub. ;)
@@cartecknow1817 also the 727 Pinellas’s county number flashed a few time
Helpful, however will this affect the side curtain airbag operation?
As long as the cables are not attached to or wrapped around the airbag, it should function as needed.
How do I tilt the front camera up a little. Mine shows too much of the dash and I’ve tried moving it as far up as I can without obstructing the view
You can adjust the front camera upward by physically moving the front section where the camera is mounted. Just push the camera section upward, toward the windshield. The U1000 does slide to the side, to disconnect from the windshield mount. Taking the module off the windshield will make it easier for you to adjust. Then slide the unit back into the mount. Hope that helps :-)
Can you also hardwire to fuse box instead of splicing the wires?
Yes, you can use the add a circuit adapters and wire this to a fuse box.
Would these cams work in a Jeep Wrangler? Would one be able to properly position the front cam on such a "vertical" windshield? Can the cam be adjusted enough?
The lens can be adjusted to ensure the perfect recording angle, even with the vertical windshield of the Jeep Wrangler.
For the permanent hardwire install, rather than tap into the wiring harness wouldn't it be just as easy or easier to go into the fuse box with fuse taps?
You can use add a fuse type connections for connecting in the fusebox as an alternative, yes.
I tap it with the fuse
Thanks, Got some questions that you may be able to answer. looking to install in a Porsche Type 992 Carrera convertible. What to do with the installation of the the rear cam? how long is the wire on the rear cam? Is the OBD2 installation available for this type?
Unfortunately we have not had a chance to get into one of those vehicles here, so we havent tested the OBD2 cable in it and are unable to provide any routing assistance on that one. Sorry about that. The rear camera cable is approximately 24 feet long.
Does the rear camera independently detect motion and start recording during motion detect parking mode? Your info is much appreciated. Trying to figure out if I need 2 front cameras or just a 2Ch unit.
Only the front camera will detect motion. If the front camera detects movement, the rear and front camera will record a motion detection video.
@@cartecknow1817 Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought, but other claims the rear would start recording once it detects motion during parking mode.
Great video! How can I locate a OBD-II Harness Kit? My U1000 Dash Cam will be installed in a 2019 Silverado 3500HD.
You can fin the OBD-II harness here cartecknow.com/collections/dash-cam-accessories/products/obd-ii-power-cable-for-thinkware-dash-cam-installation
CarTeck Now Thnx a million - on order!!!
Wouldn’t a fuse tap be better??? Just asking.
battery pack installation with obd possible or need to hard wire
The OBD-II cable would not be a plug and play install with the battery pack.
Very good video. QUESTION: Sometimes my car (BMW 850) is stationary in my garage for several days or even up to two weeks. Even an external battery will run out during this time. Is it possible to connect the external battery to a power outlet in order to preserve the integrity of the Dashcam during this time? Thank you...
The camera has a setting to sense low battery voltage and stop recording to prevent draining the battery. The backup battery does not have an outlet.
@@cartecknow1817 Can't you just power off the unit if its parked in my garage to save the battery?
@@gjoniny Yes you can. Just remember to power it back on if it doesn't power on automatically.
so I believe the hard-wiring requires professional technician to do the job correctly with no issues.
For the OBD port method, can a regular person (not professional and with not much car knowledge) use that method and set up the parking mode?
The OBD-II port cable is the easiest solution, you just need to plug the cable in and tuck the wire along the trim to the camera. If you get stuck along the way or have any questions you can always reach out to our Tech Support at 727-346-6281 M-F 9am-7pm EST.
@@cartecknow1817 I was able to get the OBE II cable and hook it up, but now it seems like the dashcam is constantly in parking mode even when I have the car ignition turned on. Is there a setting I need to change in order to go to parking mode only when the ignition is off?
@@cartecknow1817 oh…. It looks like the ignition module is missing from my OBD II cable set up…. I probably need to return and ask for complete set.
Please call 727-346-6281and we will get you a replacement module.
Currently using a Cobb Access Port with my ODB sensor. Would the ODB splitter interfere with anything?
It shouldn't have any effect on our end, but you may want to check with Cobb on theirs. We are only looking for ignition on message on the network to provide a switched power to the camera.
Does your OBD port option drain the battery like the hardwire option?
The Thinkware cameras have a battery protection feature that you can set so if the battery does get low it will stop recording.
Hi , how do you connect it with the Vauxhall zafira 18 plate
Unfortunately we do not have any wiring information on any vehicles outside of the North American market
So what does the obd kit do does it bypass your car battery so you can enable parking mode in other words does it feed off your battery or no? Cause I have seen in other videos they want you to buy a battery pack to bypass going off car battery just was curious?
The OBD-II harness is allowing you to have a constant power and ground connection to enable parking surveillance mode without having to hardwire the dash cam. The Thinkware Dash cam does not pull enough power to drain your battery. Especially if you are driving every day, or every other day, your battery will never be affected by this connection. If you have any more questions, our dedicated Tech Support Team would be happy to help! You can chat with them here cartecknow.com/pages/tech-support
@@cartecknow1817 Due to COVID, I'm finding myself driving much less. Thus, the parking mode on the U1000 and OBD II connection have drained my battery on couple of instances. I've configured the dashcam to shutoff at less than 12.4 volts, but it still drains the battery. Any suggestions? Vehicle is a 2020 Land Rover and battery is new.
@@jaydeepark2851 I mean COVID is almost over (it's on resurgence again now with the Delta variant), but I guess you could just try turning the engine on to keep your battery charged. :/ It does kinda suck that there is less driving due to COVID.
Does the obd adapter work with the u1000 front and rear cameras?
Yes, the HWK-TW01 will work with that camera/DVR
Forgot to mention can use external battery pack? My use case is just the front+cabin I really need parking mode so I can phone zombie wherever I go (my ride's this rare). Is the Thinkware almost wireless like this, the external battery pack powers it jus by being in the 12 volt socket and medium distance trips?
The camera can be powered by any source of 12v power, including a battery.
@@cartecknow1817 So the only wire in my cabin is going to be battery>12v hopeful. Cheers!
Has anyone tried this on a C6 Corvette? Or know if it would work
I wouldn't dare to do this on my own in my 2022 Acura MDX Advance, but this is super informative and interesting. At least I'd be armed with some knowledge when I get someone to do it. Thanks.
How would I mount the rear camera if my truck has a sliding rear middle window ?
You can mount it off to the side on the glass that does not move. The camera has a wide view and you will still be able to get a good viewing angle behind the truck with it slightly off center.
Side Airbags?
As long as the cables are not attached to or wrapped around the airbag, it should function as needed.
I jus ordered a dash cam and cable from your website, how long does it take to ship??
Hi there, orders received on holidays and weekends will be shipped the following business day. Your camera should be shipping today! :)
CarTeck Now hi so I installed your guys OBD II cable to my car and was wondering if that is going to drain the battery ?/: also, is there any way to see my Car Live when I’m inside of my house ??
@@ya5807 Hello again. :) The OBD2 cable draws power just like the Thinkware hardwire cable does. There's a battery saving feature built into your dash cam. You can review that feature within the dash cam manual. Regarding live view from your house, if you're within the cam's WiFi range, you can connect to it to view.
You left out the hardest part, getting the ridiculous software to work.
How come you guys do not use the fuse to connect them??
Hi there, unclear what you're referring to, but the hardwiring cable has the fuses already inline with the wiring which was not removed. Hope this helps! :)
@@cartecknow1817 at 5:20 when you use the hard wiring cable ? How come you guys do not tap it to the fuse box? Cuz most of them said that but I kinda like that idea behind it. Is there a reason why you prefer to tap it like that instead of tapping it to the fuse box.
Tks
@@flipmode00 Ah I see. If you're using a fuse tap, then that is certainly acceptable. Thinkware doesn't include a fuse tap with their packaging, so we installed using what's available in the box.
@@cartecknow1817 if you use fuse tap, will the parking mode still works?
@@alexloweph Yes parking mode will still work.
I know this video is a year old do hopefully someone will reply. I’m looking at getting a dash cam that connects via OBD but I’ve read that connecting this way drains battery? Is this correct? Thank you.
The Thinkware cameras have a battery protection feature that you can set so if the battery does get low it will stop recording.
It is too bad that the interior view from passenger seat and driver seating are not shown as the aesthetics is important.
I did all you said and power to cable but not turning on?????confused
Which installation method did you use? Please feel free to call us at 727-346-6281 for technical assistance.
I would like to buy this dash camera with the rear camera. Will the rear camera recording be functional with the front camera in the parking mode function?
Only the front camera will detect motion. If the front camera detects movement, the rear and front camera will record a motion detection video.
What about a passenger vehicle
This camera can be installed in almost any vehicle.
The pickup as target vehicle was a bit of a cop out on showing how to run the cable from rear to front. Otherwise good presentation and informative.
Can you install for me? I will pay you, guide me virtually over FACETIME for my 2020 Camry.
Hi Muhammad, we don't do customer installs here but if you email support@cartecknow.com we can get you wiring information for your vehicle or recommend a local shop in your area.
No way to install it like you on a new car
now I'm curious and have to ask honestly to... but why can't you?
@@datswapz1875 Hi, because if the risk that panels will not fit exactly, risk of scratching surfaces, not well managing wires under the panels, risk of connecting it to wrong fuse. I wouldn't venture to do it on a warranty car.
@@SIMEONOVVASIL I see. Yeah I can believe that. Wire running and hiding its an art . Not everyone has that ability to see the entire picture. Like people who build their owm.p.c. Wire look like a rats nest ahha ... thanks for the response I was curious for sure. ✌
