Car DVR - Mercedes



Installed one of the $25 units we bought at the market last week into my sister's Mercedes Kompressor. This is the first time the power lead has been long enough to reach from the camera all the way around behind trim and along under the drivers dash to the cigarette lighter so thankfully no need for any USB extension cable.








Started at the centre console where there is cigarette lighter socket.



Then under the dash where the cable is hidden behind the kick cover panel.




Across to the right side.




Then up and around the end of the dash.



Towards the windscreen the up the pillar.

Home turn is in sight



Across the top of the windscreen pushing the cable in behind the trim with a old school ruler.




The cable length is perfect to just plug into camera.




Thankfully no operator knowledge is required, camera turns on with ignition ACC and turns off about 30 seconds after key is removed.
