The red and black power leads can be connected to power as shown above. The ACC yellow wire must be connected to a switched power source, so the parking mode works. While we didn鈥檛 install this dashcam, others have found the Tesla rear view mirror uses switched power and you may want to tap into this connection. The mirror switched power wire color has changed over time. For older cars, you need to Yellow/Dark Green wire. For cars built after Oct-2014, the wire color is just Yellow. We have not confirmed the color in AP2 cars, likely still Yellow. The mirror cable may be accessible from the microphone opening on pre-AP cars. It鈥檚 a separate bundle of wires, wrapped in black. With AP1 or AP2, you may need to disassemble the camera housing and locate the rear-view mirror connector and tap into the correct wire using a Posi-Tap. We recommend you first confirm it is a switched 12v power wire with a voltmeter. Otherwise, you may need to pull out part of the headliner (quite difficult) to access the bundle of wires with the switched power.





Model 3 uses an electronic fuse system, that if tapped into the wrong place, your dashcam will generate errors and problems! Tesla was nice enough to provide a seperate 10 amp circuit that is electronically fused for 15 amps. It is not used for anything else, but it is switched power - meaning the power turns off when the car turns off. Use Video1 and Video 2 from Ingineerix to help connect to this power source in the cabin at the left footwell module. Here鈥檚 how we installed a BlackVue DR900S front camera in our Model S in less than 4 minutes (ok, we made a few edits to cut out long pauses). We want to remove the small visor receiver to make running the wire through the headliner easier. First push the visor to the side. Using a small screwdriver, pop the plastic tab on the visor receiver. Be aware it is hard to snap open.





Using a torx T15 bit, unscrew the screw and remove the receiver. Use a plastic pry tool to temporarily open a small gap between the windshield and the headliner near where you want power wire to exit the headliner. Leave the pry tool in place to keep a 1/8鈥?opening or so. I picked a spot about 5鈥?from the AP/rear view mirror housing. From the microphone housing opening, feed Fish Tape over and down through the location of the pry tool. I connected a 3-foot string to the fish tape. Pull back the fish tape so the string is now hanging out both sides. Remove the string from the fish tape. At the microphone panel opening side, we tied the string to the power connector side of the dashcam power cable and pulled the string from the windshield side to get the cable through the headliner. Adjust the length and position of the cable to connect to the dashcam without a lot of slack. Remove the pry tool. If you are unable to get always-on power in the headliner area, you can run the wires across the header and down driver鈥檚 or passenger鈥檚 A pillar.
