Hi, spent a hour today installing a dashcam to the front and rear of my RR . I used the Mini 0906 dashcam due to using it in a BMW X1 install and it seems a very good front and rear dashcam.
First was finding a fuse that goes on/off with the car ignition . I used the cigarette lighter fuse behind the passenger glove box ( the relay turns on and off the cigarrete lighter when the doors lock/unlocks .. so not quite an ignition live fuse but good enough).
Used a Fusetap and a USB/Multi Cigarette lighter adapter to power the camera and grounded on a chassis bolt. I have used hardwire kits before for the dashcam but had one damage a dashcam ! so now stick to fused cigarette adapters.
I pulled off the Door rubber trim and ran the cable inside , Poked the cable behind the windscreen pillar airbags and placed the camera in the middle.
The rear camera is powerd via a cable from the front camera , it also saves video to the front camera . I ran this cable on the drivers side of the car and poked behind all trim.
Rear camera placed , and clips used to tidy cables.
