I wonder if I could bring it to a shop and ask if they'd show me what to do if I pay them. I really am hesitant working on electrical stuff within a car. Not my forte.

i'd pay the $50 or whatever for the install if they'd also teach me. Lease is up next year so I'd be ripping it out eventually. Would be nice to know for future cars instead of always paying.

http://www.amazon.com/Dash-Camera-Ve...m+hardwire+kit I am just confused where those bare wires go. And I assume i find the fuse box under the dash somewhere? I only have ever played with the ones in the hood of a cars.

The RED bare wire will hook up to this, and the BLACK wire will go to any chassis ground (bolt i mentioned above). http://www.amazon.com/Pico-0956PT-Bl...BYC2QVF21EQD7Z |

Alright. So red wire goes into the heat shrink wrap thingie? And just tap the black wire into a bolt somewhere with the o-ring type thing you posted earlier?

yep!
and just chose a switched 12v fuse, meaning it turns off when you turn off your car. so like your power socket fuse would be a good choice. Some power sockets are powered even while the car is off, so if your camera is still on after u shut down the car, you'll want to chose another fuse. wat u do is pull the fuse out of the fuse box, place the fuse in the add-a-circuit thingie (can't remember slot 1 or slot 2), add a new 10A fuse on the other slot, and push that add-a-circuit back into the spot you pulled out the fuse. now you got 12v power. add-a-circuit can handle up to 10A. |
