Bought a BlackVue 900X 2-channel.

The 20ft rear camera wire in the box is just the perfect length for the 110 with about 2 feet of excess. Here's a simple way to run the rear wire for any camera.

Part 1 - Rear door

Remove the screws from the back door card and use fingers to pop the bottom 3/4 of the panel loose. It's very tight and it feels like it's going to break but it comes off.

Get your hand into the opening and get your fingers onto the back of the rubber boot that protects the wiring to the door. There are plastic tabs on all 4 sides of the inside back of this piece. Push at least two of them in and the boot comes free.

Use good amount of silicone spray to lube the inside of the boot and whatever you plan to push through it. I used a retriever. They're very flexible and easy to push through. Use your fingers on the outside of the boot to guide it by bending it as it moves. This is the hardest part of the entire install but it's not bad with silicone and patience.





Tape the rear end of the camera wire to the noodle and use more silicone. Pull the noodle back out from the inside of the door. Run the camera end up to the top of the door card and use a to open the gap between the plastic and the door. I realize the door card comes off completely but I prefer to leave trim pieces as attached as possible when I can.





Camera has to mount here to avoid being blocked by the tire.

 

Part 2 - Wiring to the dash

Keep fishing forward.


Take the little junk cup out of the top of this panel to use as an opening to fish the wire.


Only pop the back of this side panel off and route the wire to the gap at the headliner. Be careful with the spudger. It will crush the headliner if you pry too hard. Two or three spudgers can be used at once to pry over a larger surface area. If you hear or feel the headliner getting crushed, ease up.


One tool has a push end to push the wire into the gaps without crushing or cutting it.


Keep moving forward and use the rubber strip around the door to hide the wire the rest of the way.

 

Part 3 - Almost done

Transition from the rubber strip to the top of the A pillar and keep going.

Excess wire (about 2 feet) can be pushed into the headliner leaving just the right amount.

 

Great work, there! Thanks for posting this. VERY helpful.

 

Allegedly, you still happy with the 900x dash cam? I just took delivery this week and dash cam is top of the list. Planning on doing the install you detailed above. Thanks again for the detailed instruction.

Edit: just viewed your response re: dash cam a month ago expressing satisfaction. Thanks again.

 

Yes, it has been flawless. I wouldn't change a thing!

 

I installed a blackvue 900x 2ch as well in my Mclaren 720S and my C8. Where did you tap the battery 12V source and the IGN 12V battery source? which fuse numbers? Thanks for the write up! Did you install a CM1000 LTE?

Did you use a back up battery source? I used a dual back up battery source and that would last only 72 hours of parking mode feed. I find that a regular IGN 12V and battery 12V source is enough to power the camera. I just used the battery source for the 720S so as not to mess up the expensive Li-Ion battery.

 

I used this from PowerfulUK and it worked perfectly.

Never did the LTE module. Life's just been a little too busy.

I didn't use any backup for the battery because this camera is supposed to shut off if it senses that the voltages i too low.

I do realize that this will probably shorten the life of the AGM battery but I didn't really have a place to put any additional supply for it.

 

FWIW, I've been using a Blackvue camera setup (900x) in my Deefer for over a year. It automatically shuts off on mine after a few hours or 12.5v battery volts. Have had no AGM battery issues but I'm also more interested in the camera function while driving here in Mad Max Portlandia than I am in parking mode.

Now... the updated Blackvue app that is utter rubbish and prevents you from accessing the camera footage ... that's another story

 

they changed the app but still able to access footage, live ones and also remote ones. they have the new 970x too.
