Got my Blackvue 900 today...looking for example installs
 
The Blackvue is a bit larger than I expected so would love to see some pics of the installation location of some of your forward looking cameras. Also, with you location what are the pros and cons?
Thanks in advance.

Niice install !

I got the Horizon from waylens. Installing it today !

will send pics, its only front and i assume the BlackVue has parking mode, really nice work.

Thanks for the pic....With your install does the mirror mounting area show up in the image....it looks like it may due to the closeness of the camera aperture. If not, I will put it in the same place. I also need to make sure that the there is enough room to slide the camera out of the mount.

Finally, one observation when I compare to the viofo the size of the BV is quite big. Kind of like the Viofo form factor better. seems easier to hide behind the mirror. Still I will be putting the BV in my Turbo. Will put Viofo in one of my sedans and then over time compare.

Mirror mount does not come into camera frame

Thanks....though I think I am going to put it centered behind the mirror... will install tomorrow.

Do you have to splice into the ceiling cluster for power or does the car have pre-wiring for an auxillary use like this?

I am running the wire to the fuse box on the passenger side.

There are power options in the rvm console

Finished the install of Blackvue 900S....the hardest part was the planning, figuring out where to get switched power and battery power for the Power Magic Pro. Once the power was Magic Pro was installed the rest went really fast.Tha

Installed Power Magic Pro installed in fuse box on passenger side
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...d0fb7fdc22.jpg
Used add a circuit for both battery and accessor connection in empty fuse slots. Battery had always hot fuse slot and Accessory was to switched slot
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...8f6457c9a4.jpg
Looks nicely integrated. I am not planning on messing too much with the magic pro so it will be behind the fuse box panel.

Used the BV trim tool which worked great. Ran power up A piller (pulled it off)...it was all pretty easy even wth the rear view camera. WIres do not show anywhere in the install.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...be8b6c18f5.jpg
BV behind mirror and When driving the camera is blocked out of my view. Camera is aligned to be at the exact center of the car. Still need to clean up the wiring but it all works now.

The rear camera.

Are you able to provide the fuse location IDs that you tapped into?
