Hi all

I have fitted a Nextbase front facing no worries, hardwired into the fusebox in the passenger side well.
Now I have brought a cheaper LANKA 1080p for the rear, all working well as currently plugged into the socket in the boot.
I want to hardwire the rear one as well and have identified the fusr box in the boot.

Has anyone experience of removing the rubber cable/pipe ducts at the top of the hatch to thread the necessary cabling?
I have removed the rhs rubber conduit but the cables within it seem firm, very little movement to free them up.

Any advice would be recommended as either of these rubber conduits seem ideal to thread the power cable through

Was thinking of getting a nextbase for the front. What model did get & what fuse in the box did you hardwire to? Any further installation instructions for front, pics etc most welcome.

Hi All,

I know this wont answer the question of a read facing dashcam however..... most/all F-Pace have front facing cameras fitted as standard near the rear view mirror on the dashboard. You can turn them on and see the road ahead with them when travelling below a certain speed.
Why could the ICT not turn these cams into DashCams using the built-in hard drive to record the footage (let say the past 30 mins as a minimum).
This surely is only a software upgrade/change and would come at no hardware cost to us (nor JLR).

Thinking about it, the reversing camera could also turn into a rear facing dashcam when the car is moving forward.

Regards.....

HML,

This is something I have wondered, the cameras are fitted, why not make use of them all the time. Above a certain speed they could be prevented from being a distraction on the screen and as you say keep the last 30 mins or so of video on a rolling basis unless told to keep it. The video could be saved on the same USB stick as ones music (or another one plugged into one of the USB sockets) so it could be taken from the car if needed for evidence.

The NextBase is a on-WiFi version I brought over a year ago.
It has GPS and is 512G I believe

I used this kit -

I ran the cable around the windscreen using a set of these plastic tools to help -

The ease the access to the passenger fusebox I prized off the passenger side foot door trim. No problems

Hope this helps ;-)

Any suggestions on the rubber hoses connecting the tailgate to the car body anyone?

Hi

Moved on with suggestion from my wife.
I have traced the cable along edge of rear window across the boot trim and into the space near hinge, under the trim around the strut, into the hatchback seal, down to the trim by the parcel shelf and around to the power socket.

Easy ;-)

If you want pics shout up

Was thinking of this one for mine after some dick hit me while I was shopping, any chance you can upload picture please.

I just installed Blackvue DR750S-2CH today. just waiting for the right fuse taps to arrive for hardwiring.

Managed to run rear cam cable down driver side and through the rubber seals and link from body to boot hatch and popped it out by removing the plastic trim round the left hand hinge and then just used a couple of clips to run the cable to the rear cam !

I got a local accessories shop to hard wire in the front facing dash cam, the cable I have for my Nextbase one was too neat to the power source, plus I wanted it hard wired in.
I will be getting them to fit the same for the rear facing one too.
