How to: Hardwire install dash cam (VW Golf) or: access fuse box, A pillar, & courtesy light

Installing my old dash cam in the Mk6 Golf with the same hardware from my Ford set-up, all cabling hidden, and power ignition-switched via a fuse-tap.

A better version of the A119 is now probably the A119 V3, which does support a hardwire parking mode ~

The A119S is really a driving-only camera (no proper parking mode) so it's installed here to run only with ignition. To see a driving/parking install plus a rear camera, watch: https://youtu.be/bAE4gbzCXJE

which features the Viofo A129 Duo, which is a front + rear set-up. Review: https://youtu.be/l07rtvNkHBs
Or, newer version A129 Plus Duo: https://youtu.be/0VgWKLdtAcA

For these parking mode cameras from Viofo you would ideally use their 3-wire hardwire kit which makes life easy ~

or buy from BlackBoxMyCar and select the kit as an option.

The cabling shown uses a fuse tap and a hardwired USB power supply. You will need:

* USB cable, length to suit
* USB power adapter, featured is a dual socket unit with cable terminating in an SAE plug. Amazon links ~

* Additional fuse to suit, 5 A is about right
* Other wiring and crimps or solder as required
