Default Dash cam install with hardwired power

Installed a Redtiger F9 front and rear dash cam in the Defender. I ran the rear camera cable above the roof lining which was a little tricky but we got there in the end.



Note on the a-pillar trim. They only clip out a short distance and then have to be pulled upwards in the direction of the roof lining and out.




Note on the roof mounted microphones. They do not clip straight out. You have to use a tool of some sort that goes into the two pronounced holes and rotate the cover counter clockwise before pulling it out.

The two cables to the main camera unit run behind the camera cover on the windscreen.



The power cable runs down the left a-pillar to the passenger fuse panel (RHD) where I tapped F54 for battery power and F46 for accessory power.




Lastly I used two cable tie anchors to secure the power unit to prevent it rattling about.



Overall this is an easy install once you get the wire for the rear camera passed along the rooflining. On cars without the pano roof it will be even easier.
