THINKWARE Hardwiring Cable 3m for Thinkware Dash Cam, Enables Parking Mode

It's a dash cam hard wiring kit. What more is there to say? Unsurprisingly it works. I used it with fuse taps I bought separately and hardwired my cam.

Works great simple to install

I have owned several Thinkware dash cameras on multiple vehicles and am very impressed with the build quality of the hardware harness. Having this product will assist in providing great battery life and constant power to your dashcam. Best value for your money and a must have for those needing to hardwire.

very happy with this the store did not have it. Got it from AMAZON in one day.

Quite a bit expensive for 2 wires, but it works great with my thinkware f200. Records parking mode, detects movement and it doesn't drain down my battery. Got the wires professionally installed at Car Toys for around $100 bucks on my 17' Mustang and I'm very happy with the installation and the way the wire functions. Once I turn my engine on, it lets me know if any incidents or movement was captured while I was away. Worth the money to have this wire installed on your dash cams. You just never know.

The only practical way to have a dash cam is to have it hardwired. This kit allows you to do just that. It's not necessarily a complete kit because you'll want to grab a fuse tap cable so that you can wire the dash cam into the fuse box for power. Installation isn't too hard if you watch a few YouTube videos. I wouldn't rely on the instructions it comes with alone though. Thanks to this kit I can have parking mode enabled which records while the car engine is turned off. This is key for protecting you because a lot crazy stuff happens in the parking lot. It auto shuts down if it detects your battery voltage drops to prevent it from dying on you. So worth it. This with the rear camera makes your dash cam complete.

Just finish hard wiring my X500 to my Subaru. Great product and quite a experience! 2 things worth mentioning: 1. Get 2 fuse taps and 2 extra ~5A fuses before installing. You may also need a wire stripper (for stripping out more cable to ensure connection and clipping cable into fuse tap) and some extra tape (double fastening). It makes things look neat and professional. 2. If you are not sure which fuse to tap, prepare a multi-meter to check which fuse has/hasn't power once car is off. For me, I use door lock as my battery wire (red) and ACC as my ACC wire (yellow). I encountered problems finding which fuse to tap for my ACC wire. I tried fog light fuse and seat heater fuse first, but using neither one allows dash cam turn into parking mode (It just stayed on after turning off the car, you definitely don't want this to happen). So I got a multi-meter to check the potential between my GND wire and each fuse (check both legs). Strangely, my fog light fuse and seat heater fuse still has power after engine is off but they cannot be turned on.

It works, but it's honestly not that great. I only bought this hardwire kit to save some money and install my old Thinkware F200 into my new car so I didn't have to buy a new dash cam. The kit arrived packaged well with no damage, and is one of the only options if you want to hard wire this brand since it doesn't use USB-C like most other newer cameras. My big annoyance is that the kit is literally just a cable that splits into 3 leads: ground, power, and accessory, but those leads are just wires. No fuse taps included, no crimps, nothing. Do yourself a favor and go order some fuse taps that match the fuse sizes on your car ahead of time if you really need this, because it can make your install so much quicker and have a more secure connection. The kit itself seems durable enough, and the wires are thin enough to pretty much snake into most crevices under the dash/headliner/pillar covers, but not having that assortment of connectors like the Red Tiger brand camera includes in their kits is a real downer. Once everything was wired up, it functions fine, parking mode seems to work alright. Word of warning to those looking for a dash cam: Don't buy Thinkware. Their app is HORRIBLE and makes connecting to the cam very tedious. Once it actually connects (if you've even downloaded the correct app, they have 3), the connection is very unstable. The software is clunky and probably not optimized well. The install of the dash cam and hardwiring kit took me 45 minutes including pulling the pillar, kick panel, door sills, and rear panels. Figuring out how to actually connect to the camera, get it to recognize the rear camera, and actually get through configuring it took 2.5 hours and 3 different app downloads and heaps of google. In contrast, I installed a Red Tiger dash cam in my girlfriends car and it took 1 hour in total to hardwire it and configure it.
