Hello guys!
#AlexTheGrumpyOne​ here with another video for you :)
This video has been requested many times on my channel and Facebook. I found a very good kit for under £100 that includes everything that you need to fit your dash cam on your car.
This is on my VW Scirocco, but it is also the same on VW Golf 6, VW Golf 7 and Tiguan as far as I am aware.
The quality of the product is great and on top of that if you lucky to get the offer you will get back at least £20 on the dash cam :)
Please be careful when choosing the fuse!!! Also the ground point will be one of the screws that hold the fuse box or bolt in to the metal!
Let me know if you've got any questions or need any other review or installation videos!

You are welcome. I hope people will find this helpful, as I have seen a lot of people asking about this. Trying to share it but its not easy unfortunately.
I must say... That dash cam surprised me with the quality.

Hi!!!

I have posted this as a seperate thread, but do you know what fuse socket I need to connect for my dash cam to get a constant power source even when the ignition is off? I have connected it to a socket and it seems to power on without ignition but then turns off and parking mode does not activate. So is there a socket that provides the constant power?

Thanks

hi.
for that you will need to check the manual as it would have to be something that says on all the time, which is complicated these days with the multiplex system, as pretty much everything shuts down. I would say it can cause you a battery drain.
