Well, after 8 months of having the cable for my rear cam running along the centre tunnel and over the rear seat, I finally got round to running the cable along the right hand side of the headlining to the rear camera!! :D

Great write up. Cane here after a search.
I have a strange issue though.
The 12 volt lighter socket from the centre console was live, I've used it with a tyre inflator . I performed this installation using a piggyback fuse and I put the 20 amp fuse in the top of the piggyback and put the piggyback it in F40. The dash cam works perfectly but the centre cigarette lighter socket stop working. it used to work.
What on earth is going on there
?
Edit: fuse not blown!

I'd test the power on the fuses or if they don't have the little test points remove them and check the female connectors in the piggy back housing.

thanks for that but will it not be the case that if the fuse was in error or the piggyback sockets were in error ... then the dash cam wouldn't power up anyway?

I have an 2023 cupra Leon, blackvue cloud DR770 but can not get it connected. I thought would be pissible over the car cupra connect wifi or e-sim system. So i can watch the dashcam luve from anywere.

Hi,

Sorry but this isn't something I can really help with as I never utilised that feature of the dashcam. I think it can auto connect when it's in range of a wifi network, such as when parked on a drive with good wifi signal. It would have to remain powered while it did this though, possibly via parking mode?

Sorry I can't be of much help! Best of luck getting it sorted.

Lozzy.
