Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have Thinkware FA200 2 channel dash cameras on my 2016 Nissan Rogue & 2017 Ford Escape Titanium. Unfortunetly, a lot of newer vehicles have 12v outlets with constant power. Its a better choice to have the dash camera hardwired to the fusebox. Professional installation is reccomended. Hardwiring also allows parking mode, but I have it disabled, as I only want the camera to record when the engine is on. Another benefit is the same hardwire cable can be used when upgrading to another Thinkware camera.

The installation was easy even with very generalized instructions. The instructions don’t say where to attach each wire. At first I didn’t see any labeling on the red and yellow wires, but on the fuse holder for the red wire it says constant 12v. So I attached the red wire to a constant power source and the yellow to an ignition on power source. The park mode on the dash cam wouldn’t work with this hook up. Then I reinspected my wiring and saw a small black band on the red and yellow wires with a microscopic font saying the red was for ignition and the yellow for constant power. After switching the wires, the dash cam worked perfectly

This worked great on our Q800 Pro installation. Had no problems with it. Wires are decent quality, though I am not a fan of the barrel style fuse holders as they add bulk to the harness. Regardless, I was able to fairly easily route the harness from the rear view mirror of our 2015 BMW X5 to the necessary fuses to tap. Simple product that does its job. Better if you can get it on sale like we did.

Caveat Emptor: 10' does not go far when you are routing it behind a dashboard, or under a headliner, or pretty much anywhere out of the way in the cabin of a car. Before you buy know where your fuse box is. I didn't have enough cable to make it to my fusebox under the hood so I ended up mounting a power distribution block and a fuse a few feet closer to the cabin. But it works great and enabled Parking Mode in my F200C camera bundle.

I used the included lighter pilot cable for all of one week before I purchased this add-on and I love it, it's a must for me as I don't have to remember to plug or unplug the unit. Watch out though, if your vehicle is sitting for days without starting up, your battery may run down if you turn on the record while parked feature.

Works as described and was a quicker install than I thought it would be. Honestly had it not been for my own negligence of not having a tester for my fuses it would have been even faster. You will need this for the camera to go into 'Parking Mode' where it detects passer-bys and hits to the car while parked.

This is a must and makes parking peace of mind. I use this on both emu Thinkware 200F. Installation was easy on the internal fuse box. I did research and found YouTube tutorials that helped.

Works as described. You need it to use the parking mode surveillance. At the time I bought this Best Buy had the best price by far.

Had this installed for free with Total Tech Support. It works with my Thinkware F800 and now I have parking mode enabled. I verified that it works by reviewing parking mode footage. Great for peace of mind.

I bought this taking the risk it wouldn’t work on my Thinkware 220d. However, it turned out that it did work. Highly recommend it if you’re looking into having parking/motion detection enabled.

I'd recommend this if you're short on cigarette lighter ports, or simply don't want the wire to power the unit to be showing. Install was essentially as easy as connecting the positive (red), accessory (yellow) and ground (black) to the same wires your stereo uses. The install guide recommends hooking up these wires to fuses in the fuse box, but I don't ever see that as being super straightforward, or easy. So I opted for the aforementioned method. I have the wire routed up the A pillar alongside the window, and up above the headliner in my Ford Probe. Very happy with the finished result.

So I have a 2019 Mini Cooper. Bestbuy’s car repair shop thought I needed this kit, but I didn’t. I’m keeping it because my sister has an older car and I know she’ll need it when she purchases her dash cam. Anyhow, they were AMAZING. I love my front and rear view cam (by Thinkware) installation. The recordings that’s sent to my phone. The video is so clear! If I ever need anything install, I will definitely head to Best Buy.

Purchased with the dash camera install service and everything is nice clean and tucked away. Parking mode works with the hard wire but you won’t be connected to the internet while car is turned off.

I never even saw this product, the installation specialist just used it for the instal. My dash cam works so I suppose this is good too

Designed to be very compatible with the camera system. The camera instaler likes the quality of the product and ease of installation this product makes.

The thinkware cable does what it’s supposed to and that’s to hide the wiring and hardwire power so you don’t have to plug it into a socket. This is also required for parking mode to work as the cable has a constant, switched and ground connection. The wire is plenty long enough. I am a professional 12v electronics installer and have installed many of these cables. The wiring is plenty long enough and the constant and switched are both fused at the end of the cable. Not much else to say about this product.

Very simple to install. Works extremely well with my H50. Allows camera to operate and monitor while parked. Protects battery from draining while in use.

Would have been nice if it came with instructions on how to wire to fuse box. I did find instructions on the internetthinkware. Easy to run wires and hook up. Recommend having a couple “add a fuse” components to do the job right..

Excellent service with the install of my camera. Didn't require this as everything was in the package to hardwire the camera.

To really get the full potential out of the camera this is a must, very simple to install for the mechanically inclined. They even have a video which lays it out for the non mechanically inclined. Just need a small variety of fuses, multimeter, & 2 tap a fuse and 15 minutes.
