I grabbed a new Uniden iGO Cam 90R and set about installing it in a new Kia Seltos - don't let the cable dangle down from the dash, you can tidy things up with your own installation. Let me show you how to hide the cables powering your dashcam. It's easier than you think

    the window pillar plastic trim (white in the video) just pulls off, grab it at the top and pull it towards you, it will pop off and the cable can be routed behind it, modern pillar trims have channels for wires built in for cameras, cabin lights, speakers, microphones etc, to refit just line up the holes with the locating lugs and slowly push it back into place, try not to push the wires into gaps with tools as squeezing wires in with tools can damage the wires, if you need to push any wires into gaps use some folded up card as that will not damage any wires, I've fitted four front & rear view cameras now and the first one I fitted I damaged the internal wires by pushing it in with a stiff plastic tool and the rear camera would not record anything, I could view the image but not record it so I had to buy a new cable and then it recorded, but to look t the cable you couldn't see any damage, so think before you use any pressure on these cables, the internal wires are very thin, just a few strands and easily broken, hope this helps anyone about to fit this type of camera, it is a good video just needs a few weeks,

    Thanks so much for this great video. I had my reservations about routing the cable throught the trim but now I have seen how you did it, my faith in my own ability has been restored! Thanks so much for your help!

    Thank you, you made it simple and easy to duplicate. It took me about 30 minutes to complete, front and rear camera. The wires just tucked right in from the front to the back in my Subaru Forester

    Thanks so much for sharing this installation. At first we thought it might be too difficult to do it this way but after watching your video my husband had it done in about 20 to 30 minutes. Thanks so much. We also have a Kia Seltos. So far we love it.

    This dash cam install is very much like how I did mine. I installed a front and rear Garmin 57. Worked out very well.

    Thousand people did the same think hard way but you show us very easily .Thank you
  • @chase6236
    Loved the front installation but wish you had done the rear wiring as well
  • @briangoudie8527
    Great video. I just installed mine and followed the same principles of hiding the cables. Looks great!

    Brilliant video. This is the Best video I’ve seen on this topic. Thank you so much, you have given me the confidence to have a go. Really grateful.
  • This video made me feel much more comfortable with putting the wire throughout the car. Thank you!
  • Thanks 🙏 such a helpful video. I have never known how easily it is until get into it.
  • @PhilVaive
    Thank you so much for this! Took me like 5-10 minutes, and it was so easy! Some advice I have - do it on a warm day, or in a warm place. The plastic was nice and flexible because it's 25C today
  • Thanks Trev! Such a helpful video. Our Camry even has a cable run for that last piece of wire from the glove box to the 12V socket.

  • @danijeljenko184
    Very useful tutorial. I've just hidden my camera cable in Mazda 2 and it looks awesome!

    Simple installation, could be better with an actual hard power wire to the fuse panel to run only when engine is turned on. As for a rear camera, just run the rear camera wire as he did for the cig lighter wire and then run the rear camera wire to the rear under the rubber seal. Be careful of the placement of the wire on that a-pillar. If there is a air bag under the molding with the wire may restrict the deployment of cut into the bag upon deployment and it will not deploy correctly. Since this is the UK there may not be an airbag in that pillar. If there is an airbag in the pillar just remove that a-pillar trim molding and run the wire UNDER the airbag,.
