I may be a few mm out but from what I can see mine is mounted in the green zone on the attached picture. Mine is in the smaller green section below the mirror directly to the left of the red section…I have ordered a slightly longer cable - 30cm so that I can move it behind the mirror more and further out of sight….
Hard to tell but it does like it would just about let you fit to the extreme left of the "hump"?
My current cable is 25cm long and at best would fit to the middle of the ‘hump’ so I have ordered a 30cm cable that will hopefully allow me to get to the left hand side…
Thanks for the link as they seem to have every option you could ever need. I will order one once I have checked my dashcam.
It powers off with the car if using the connector by the mirror.
Just wanted to check if you found the 0.3m cable was long enough?
Unfortunately still waiting for the delivery from Aliexpress…it was coming from China via snail mail. As soon as I get it I will post an update on how it works ??
lol probably on the same boat as most our cars lol
I've got a horrible feeling your 12 volt accessory battery won't like that.
Why not... the 12v system in an EV is treated in exactly the same was as in an ICE car... you just have a large battery pack keeping it topped up instead of an alternator...I've got a horrible feeling your 12 volt accessory battery won't like that.
A decent dashcam should shut itself off if it detects the 12v is getting low.I've got a horrible feeling your 12 volt accessory battery won't like that.
So you are going to leave the car on when you are away from it to get sentry mode? Sounds a bit risky to me.
The trouble with EV accessory batteries is that they deplete unexpectedly. Having been stranded on a car park without any previous problems, I wouldn't risk it myself.
You don't need to leave the car on... just like you wouldn't need to leave an ICE car running... the small amount of current draw from a tiny dash cam would is almost negligible in comparison to the capacity of the 12v battery lol. and the amount of times it would activate, I bet the battery would lose more juice from the many systems that require constant power to keep clocks in sync. I wouldn't mind betting that the OTA system has constant power too. For someone with the handle of Gadget Geek I would have thought you would be clued up on stuff like this ? Tesla for instance has a sentry mode, and that uses ALL of the cameras, the proximity sensors and impact sensors... also flashes the lights on and hazards when you get too close to them and then fires up the big screen with a SENTRY MODE alert for all to see lol
OK. Good luck. There are a number of people on a Hyundai forum who have fallen foul of a dashcam draining the 12 volt.
