Hi All, I've just received a Roav Dash Cam for Christmas as a present. I attempted to hard wire the Dash Cam into the fusebox in the engine bay. The connector I have (LINK) is all working fine. However, when I try to close the lid on the fusebox there isn't enough room as the lid catches on the...

UPDATE: Using the Technical docs I was able to determine the G30 goes into full sleep after 10 minutes of no user activity. Tapped back into the homelink fuse, locked up the car, put the remote key away, and timed how long until the car went asleep. Roughly 6 minutes on three different tests...

After some trial and error I finally managed to remove the mirror surround to complete a hardwire for a V1 and Dashcam. The mirror surround cover is in 3 pieces that clip together: To remove, start with the top piece, then middle, and last is the bottom piece. The clips are a pain in the a**...

Hi guys, I just posted a video here that shows how to hardwire (using the V1 hardwire kit) the radar detector in an F10 M5. I used green wire with the brown stripe on it to tap into. It was hard to access the ground bolt, but with a swivel accessory it is possible. I referenced this guide for...
