What a great concise video please can you supply part number for the the regulator you used with the screw terminal this will be helpful when you connected to 12 volt how did you isolate before connecting
Link in the description, it's this one: a.co/7VYwOhW If by isolate, you mean turn off the 12V system, I didn't bother. If you would like to turn off the 12V system, it's a 2 step process. First, disconnect the negative terminal on the 12V battery. Second, disconnect the data connection to the HV system under the rear seat (passenger side).
I heard you can get constant power under the panel where the hazard button and front overhead lights are located, possibly from a yellow wire, though I haven't tried popping it off yet. I was hoping to find a video showing someone taking it down but no luck yet. Can you create a video showing this?
Do you think those terminals that you tapped into would be capable of handling a 1000W-1500W power inverter to get 10-15A of 110V? This thread discusses it for the Model S and I'm curious as to your thoughts on vampire draw with the Model 3 from a constantly running dashcam and how well the DC-DC converter does maintaining the 12V battery? teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/is-it-safe-to-connect-a-large-inverter-to-the-12v-battery.97744/
Dave Rowley I wouldn't try to draw that much power from those terminals. An inverter that big could draw over 100 amps at 12V. I don't recall the specific video, but ua-cam.com/users/Ingineerix mentioned that the DC-DC converter does have quite a bit of capacity. However, I doubt there's a legit way to directly connect to the car's DC-DC inverter. I would connect an inverter like you mention directly to the 12V battery and only use it while the car is awake so the car can keep the 12V battery charged.
I just went to check on another of your videos regarding the constant 12v for the dash cam (on the driver’s side) and you deleted it. Is there a reason why?

18 gauge wire with a 10 amp fuse. Voltage regulator I used is in the description, but any regulator that can handle 9-14V input and can supply the output voltage (5V in this case) and current you need will work.
Any recommendations for buying basic hobbyist wiring solutions locally now that Radio Shack is gone or do you buy all stuff like that on Amazon as well?
Yes, but most dashcams have features like time lapse if sitting for more than an hour or recording / logging on any g shock (someone bumping into your car or hitting it with their door). Right now the current Tesla solution is just logging while you drive. One main reason I wanted a dashcam was to protect my investment against parking lot damage or theft.

Another well thought out project!
can you tap the 12v constant source without splicing wires?

Jon. On the other video you warned of a 1amp draw limit. Do you have a similar recommendation on max draw on this? Thanks
wow genius! are you an electrician or electrical engineer? i sub'ed!
Nope, just a DIYer.

if you need 12V for a blackvue, couldnt you skip the voltage regulatory to go down to 5V and just get the buck-boost regulator to do 9V to 12V
Andrew Nguyen yes, you just need one regulator. Either the buck to get 5V, or the buck-boost to get 12V.
Awesome, will give it a try!
Andrew Nguyen how did it go? I heard the blackvue can run off 9 volts.
@@ampersandru Any luck on your comments above and a part number for the buck-boost that might be in-stock somewhere?

I didn't realize I had deleted anything Model 3 related. Do you have a link to the video in question? I'll try to figure out what happened.
Thanks for posting this! How did you find this source? Ay idea what this supply of power is intended for?

Awesome! What gauge wire and what size of first did you use? Any voltage regulator will work?

I use a mix of Amazon, home improvement stores, and auto parts stores.
Anyone tried this yet? Need some results!
So...in 4 weeks the dashcam firmware will be out and use the cars cameras.
Just sayin
and you'll see a view of road stripes, am i right?
Yes, but most dashcams have features like time lapse if sitting for more than an hour or recording / logging on any g shock (someone bumping into your car or hitting it with their door).
