The specific dashcam that I installed in this video is a Wolfbox G840S unit from amazon, but the installation process will be nearly identical across all dash cameras and reverse cameras, WOLFBOX or otherwise. This is the back up camera in mirror style of cam, and it works pretty great!

Great video! You may want to do something about that wasp nest at 6.20 😊
6:20 Bro got a Wasp Nets in his taillight lol but great video very detailed
Makes me think how many cars on the road have hidden wasp nests in them
Extremely easy to follow even for a non tech-driven old guy. Thanks for posting this video.
Thank you, young man. I was unsure about the red cable attached on the rearview camera and what purpose it serves, but you clarified that for me perfectly. Cheers !
Happy to help!
Literally why I looked this video up lol. Thank you too
thank god we have people like you
Thank youYour video was very detailed and only because of you I was able to install by myself. Thank you!
Nice video!
Short and to-the-point
Your video was very detailed and only because of you I was able to install by myself. Thank you!
You're welcome, happy to help!
Excellent video, I am usually pretty tech savvy but a bit limited when it comes to cars, I was a bit unsure about the cables on the rear camera but this video was top notch, thank you!
Thanks for a very clear and concise instructions. I will revisit when it comes to installation in our two Rav4s. Cheers
Great Vid, thank you very much
You’re welcome! Happy to help
Is the redwire to be connected to the reverse light just power wire? I can use any wire to lengthen it?
Great video… thanks! Do you think that you could use the 12 volt line going to your stock mirror? This would be a help in both wiring and acc only power since my cigarette lighter has power all the time. I am not interested in the time lapse feature. Thanks again.
Not a word about the wasp nest though. 😂
Very nice explanation Brother, Thank you for your great efforts.
Can you plz tell me how is the mirror clarity & visibility when power turned OFF.
hi, how do you change the setting for time lapse? cause when i review my videos in my computer the videos was in fast forward. Thank You!
Can you please give more product detail on that little connector for the backup camera? What it’s called and where to buy? TY.
Can I manually enter “car off mode” and record a time lapse until I tap into the fuses?
is there a way to change it back to mirror when it is on? like the screen?
Question for connecting the rear cam to power. When you tap into reverse light power, does that mean the rear cam only works when going in reverse? Would like to display the rear constantly if possible.
4:05 if you wanted to have your camera pointed straightforward in the position that it’s mounted right now is that possible? Like does the mounting bracket have free range of motion up and down so I can place it how i like? While mounted in the same position you have it? Not sure if this is a dumb question but thanks lol
I already have a factory backup camera . What would you do with that ...leave it alone and hook up this Wolfbox dash cam seperately ?
Yeah you can just add it and use it as a rear cam that is recording as well all the time, thats what i did
@@thetoolmat8632 ....thanks ! I was wondering if you HAD to tie into it and really did not want to.
Is half reverse cam image or full view of back ??? Thanks
can this mirror act like a normal rear view mirror and or when you put it in reverse then the rear kicks on?
Can I use front/back recording and back cam for parking if i get the power from cigarette thingy? I don't wanna mess stuff
Hey bro. Great video. I hardwired it. Quick question. When I put the car into P and take the keys out. My screen remains on. Is there anyway for the screen to turn off automatically after I take the keys out? I don't want to use the screensaver bc I was hoping the screen would auto turn off after I turn the car off.
What do you mean when you say find a fuse that is switched and one that is constant? Like can you give me an example of which fuse location you used? Also do you have to run wire from underneath the hood back into the car after you install it into the fuse?
Boy I tried to install a backup cam in my mk5 gti and man that didn’t go as planned lol thought I saw a mk6 gti off to the left in your video.. VW’s and Miata go hand and hand!
Hopefully this video can help you get it right! They sure do, I had a MK5 GTI as well a few years back. I loved it but unfortunately blew the engine in it
Great job my hillbilly friend.
Which color of the wire is constant?
Hello Thank you for this great video, do you know if there is a way to bypass the cigarette lighter? I only have 1 in my car and I use it to charge my phone.
The easy way is to buy a cigarette lighter splitter
I was looking to get this for my saab and then I see you also have one
They’re a blast! Mines an 05 Manual Aero, what is yours?
Thanks for the great video. How did you route the wire from the camera outside into the vehicle?
I routed it through the seal between the two doors
@@CashedOutCars Thanks! That sounds much better than drilling another hole in the roof!
Did you need a hardwire kit for the timelapse functionality? Thank you.
I did use one for mine
I'm curious if you know why I get vertical white noise lines on the monitor from the rear camera. It is connected to my cars power point so I don't think it has anything to do with engine noise
I'm probably late but have you check the grounding cables, where it's earthed to the vehicle metal body
6:20 That wasp isn't happy! Question, when you're in drive does the screen simply display the backup camera stream? Or when it's off it's a mirror?
No it was not! The screen stays on and displays a “digital rear view”, which takes a bit of getting used to but I’m coming to like it quite a bit. You could also set it for the screen to turn off completely, but the mirror isn’t as good as the factory one then
wasp nest for adding more security
How is the camera ? Any issue ?
Do I have to buy the wire kit for my fuse box separately? I have the same model but it didn't come with a kit for engine power detection. Thanks.
Yes unfortunately it is an additional kit for that
Wheres the red wire come into play off the camera did i miss it
Need more details on where you plugged in the constant power tap to the camera setup
Anything with key on power
Common sense
@@Blayde02 don’t be rude. Ass
It’s fully explained in the video
How did you know that the green wire was the correct one to attach the t-splice onto?
Looking for a cam nice review or the price
Does this mirror dash cam ever click your buttons on the stock mirror accidentally? Good review btw
I haven't had any issues with that!
what is this call T spliter?
Good morning from Spain, I'am interested in buying the model G840S mirror with the parking monitor kit.
My doubt is the rear camera is also active recording in parking mode???
Is it continuous recording??
Does it give good quality recording in parking mode??
Thanks
That's a great question, and to be honest I haven't tried that. I actually sold this vehicle with the camera so I can't check
In setting you can set tramper activated or time lapse, it records both. Hope this helps
How did you get it to automatically load the split screen view upon start up??? Mine auto loads rear view only!
Should be a option in the settings where you can have it set to split.
Doe’s the rear camera recording or only the front?
Both!
Says has GPS. Does it have it built in or do you need a god antenna to plug in
It has a small GPS unit that plugs into it, no need for a big antenna
Is there anyway to reduce the glare on the mirror, you can barely see the screen in daytime?
I'm also facing the same issue
play with the brightness maybe
@@emmanagbalugo4465 at max
What is the red wire for on the back up camera???
Wiring it to the car’s reverse light cord so the dash cam can detect when you’re reversing.
You failed to mention where to put the red wire coming from the rear view camera...
You mentioned if you just want a front facing dash cam you’re set. That’s not the case because (as far as I know) the device doesn’t function as a real mirror. If you don’t plug in the rear view camera you no longer have a view out the back unless you turn around or look at side mirrors. That’s been my main qualm with the device but the rear view camera is better sight than the stock mirror
You can turn off the camera and it’ll keep recording and it functions just like a mirror
Or mine does at least I have the g850
You’re not setting it properly. You can use it as a mirror but it’s not a good one
can I not connect the rear cam line to the reverse light so that I can continuously see the rear view while I am driving and reversing?
You can set it to show the rear view always, the light connection is just so that it shows you the lines when you are backing up
@@anonymoose4165 Thank you! have a good weekend!
@@SK-kk3fm ofc!
Does it come with tape to mount it?
Should all come with double sided tape to install the rearview camera.
At the very end of the video you have a wire coming down from your mirror . I thought you had cleaned it all up to look factory . What was that wire for ?
I'm still confused on the hardwire kit and how it's suppose to install.
Can you already connect it to your already existing rearview camera?
You may be able to tap into an existing rear view, but that'd be a little more complex than this. I'm not 100% sure on that
professional and clean? looks like my uncle Jim Bob helped with the install.
Sounds like your uncle Jim bob knows what he’s doing then!
Got fixated on the package..
These are awesome in theory but I've had FOUR of them die because they bake in the sun during the day and then die. If anyone grabs one of these and is in CA please let me know how it works out. Mine were vantop but I think they are all the same just re branded. Lmk.
That’s interesting, I’ve had no problems with mine and hope it stays that way!
Dude left the wasp for the video
Video first, always!
I wish it has wifi
Do you install my desk camera ? I will pay
