If you want the camera always on connect to red wire on eBay connector - careful of battery discharging

The unused wires I insulated the ends coiled them up and secured with a ziploc

 

Do yourself a favor and don't do it!! Complete waste of time!!

 

Has anyone found a way to mount the Porsche Dashcam without attaching the bracket to the windshield? I want a solution that avoids attaching anything to the windshield.

I may also look at FitCamX.

 

You have to use the proprietary Porsche cradle to connect to the Porsche camera.

Theoretically you could attach the cradle to a mirror bracket by means of modifying the bracket

 

Will a detector on a blendmount work with that Dashcam, or will the Dashcam block the detector?

 

Is that a real part? Suggestions on where to buy it? I’ve never seen it before.

 

I found it on Amazon and used it to depict the concept

if I were to use a mirror mount for both radar detector and dash cam I would mount the camera between the mirror and the detector and fabricate a plate secured to the mount which would allow the dash cam cradle to be secured

Did anyone upgrade the micro SD card for the dash cam to get more capacity? What’s the largest capacity it can use?

Looks like it comes with a 32 GB card. Suncoast sells a 64 GB for $88 which is insane. I’d expect any standard micro SD card will work. I’m thinking of getting 128 GB.

 

I want to self install the front and rear dash cams to my new 992 MY23 Turbo S which here in the UK came with the pre-wiring as standard.
I've seen the photos showing the locations of the power and video connectors my only questions are how to go about removing the trim panels.
C Pillar - Schwarz992C4S describes the removal of the Aft panel first followed by the C Pillar trim but I still don't fully understand the description for the procedure can you be a bit more precise as I don't want to break anything? Do I have to remove the carpet on the area in front of the Aft trim panel first or just grab the bottom of it and lift up and pull back?

Overhead Console - Again I understand a couple of Torx screws need to be removed but how do I get access to them, the small grilles are shown hanging down, are they just clipped in position with a tether to stop them coming right off and how do I release the clips that hold them in place and then how do I remove the large cover that is in front above the mirror as the edge of this needs to be filed to go over the cable from the front dash cam?

Thanks for any further info, help whatever😳.

 

I was able to upgrade the SD card to 256 GB as 512 GB didn't work.

 

Great to know.

 

Does anybody know a good installer for dashcam front and rear in CT? The 3 Porsche dealers I’ve contacted have yet to install one.

 

It's not hard and any dealer can do it... even without experience. Mine was the first the dealer installed also and it was a piece of cake.

 

Exactly. Make sure they have the TSB on the installation otherwise they might think they have to charge you for 10 hours of labor--it should only take an hour or two! 1.1 hours for cabriolet (front only), 1.9 hours for couple (front and rear) according to the TSB.

 

Thanks for sharing the detailed instructions and that Ebay listing @audi4t - was able to hardwire my Uniden R7 to switched power using the front dashcam prep outlet! I want to note that the wire colors on your Ebay harness pinout weren't accurate for me (each individual unit probably has different arbitrary wire colors), but of course the positions were correct; I'd guide others to rely on positions and not wire colors. Pardon the blurry pictures:
