Nextbase dash cams Aldi?

@Shieldz why would you need to tell anyone you have a dashcam fitted?
 
Mine delivered today yet to fit but feels a quality product.
How are you guys writing these up ?? Or just plug to cigarette socket
 
Got a piggy-back connector to an ignition-controlled fuse in the box, just a bit of fiddling to do to get the wire in place neatly. And waiting for Amazon to deliver an SD card. May not bother with this "uploading to Youtube" malarkey, not a lot of any interest in the lanes around here, not like these sophisticated city-slickers with their town driving stuff.:whistle:
 
It's all a load of rubbish but it's to do with being "recorded" Just need to be mindful what you do with the footage.

Will look into piggy back connector and as for YouTube I have no idea how to upload to it BUT I have grandkids that do :ymdevil::ymdevil::ymdevil:
 
 
Your welcome @Bampz.

Now my turn to ask for advice/help... how do I get access from the fuse box to feed the USB cable through in the footwell please?! Not done any electrical stuff on the zed before. All my other cars have always had the fuse box in the footwell. Am I missing something or is it a total pain in the a***?
 
In a Z3 you can run the power supply cable behind the headlining across to the n/s pillar. I split some w/washer tube and put this round the cable to make it fat enough to stay behind the headlining.
Run the cable behind the door seal rubber down to the bottom and behind the glove box. I used the ignition fed live for the radio to tap a feed for this,

Just connect the red into the radio ignition fed live and ground the black cable to earth.
Plug your camera feed cable into the plug and secure with a couple of laps of tape. Then secure the connection and any excess cable up behind the glove box with cable ties.

Thank you. That sounds easier than going through the bulkhead to the fuse box.

It is, much simpler. On a Z4 it's easier still as the fuse box is behind the glove box inside the cabin.

try fitting one in a 1 series. This fusebox is behind the glovebox through a hand size hole.
Once you stick you hand in you can no longer see the fuses you are looking for... and there are 3 sizes of fuses. (not fuse ratings, physical size difference) Stupid design.
I spent over an hour trying to locate an ignition fed fuse.

Same here on my wife’s 1 series, stupid idea BMW. You can see inside the fuse box but once you stick your hand in there you can see sweet FA.
