Hi Ernesto, We do not recommend modification to our products, as they have not been tested for compatibility and reliability with our products. If you wish to do so, please do so with discretion and with the help of a trusted expert because damage to your dash cam or vehicle from improper installation is not covered by our warranty. Professional installation of the hardwiring cable is highly recommended. While yellow usually refers to the B+ and red to the ACC, the colors of the cables are not reliable indicators. Please inspect the cables to identify the cable. The B+ needs to be connected to a fuse that remains powered on when the engine is off while the ACC needs to be connected to a fuse that will turn off when the car is off. Please also be reminded that you need to enable Parking Mode in the settings to activate Parking Mode. Thinkware Customer Support
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You could extend the wires just make sure you color code the new ends of the wire with the same color your connecting too. Or use the same color wire as your extending. It makes no difference which side of the fuse you connect to. Just make sure your not connecting to fuse smaller in rating than what is required for the camera. Too much load on a fuse, it may blow the fuse. As for the red and yellow wires, red is for a switched power source and the yellow is for the constant on or battery source. Double check your instructions to make sure I'm informing you correctly. Black for sure, is your ground. One more thing, when you extend the wires, try to use the same size or a little larger wire. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They say not to but I don't understand why. If you use quality wire and quality connectors I do not see why you can't. I find it odd that you would need to though. I have installed these cables on Dodge trucks, Kenworths, Ford F-650s, Internationals etc. and have never needed to lengthen.
