General Rear dash cam

[dan123789]

I recently got a Grande Punto as my first car and haven’t been very happy with it so far. I bought a dash cam and have fitted it fine however there’s a separate wire that can be connected to reverse and used as a reverse camera. I can’t locate the reverse wire though. Can anyone help?

Hi Dan,

I020 is the switch @ gearbox, F033 is the light itself …

Hi Bernie,

Thanks for them diagrams. Would I access the wire from the boot and wire the dash cam to it from there?

Sounds like a nice approach ... you can use a derivation crimp connector so you wouldn't even cut the original wire.
Sorry can't load picture for the moment, it happened recently while the server ran out of space ...

I really wouldn't reccomnded these they are known for causing wiring issues down the line as they let moisture into the cables and cause oxidation

 

[Bernievarian]

There shouldn't be any moisture IN the car where the loom sits; of course I wouldn't recommend either to use these anywhere outside the car.
Cut, strip, weld and shrink-tube insulate (add a drop of silicone on the bare wire before sliping the sleeve) if you have to make the connection in a wet area …

Thanks Bernie, its now all wired up and working great.
Currently it just uses the cigarette lighter but is there a way you can wire it to the fuse box?

 

[Bernievarian]

You're welcome,

the cigarette lighter (P050) is already fuse protected …

[dan123789]

I mean can I hardwire it instead of using the the cigarette lighter?

 

[Bernievarian]

Ah ok, of course you can, simply connect it to the back of the lighter ...

What type fuse does the gp use. E.g micro 2 or ato?

 

[Bernievarian]

Both , and even bigger ones !! That depend in which fuse-box …
