REXING Smart Hardwire Kit Mini-USB Port V1 V1P WiFi Version V3 and S1 Dash Cams

I installed this in my car for my dashcam and it works great. It was fairly simple to install. The instructions can be found on youtube and a short video on the Amazon description. I also used chat GPT to help me figure out which fuses to hook in to. Having a multimeter is essential as well (bought one at Harbor Freight for $5) Good product. Hope it holds up.

Good buy to hardwire my dash cam. Comes with everything needed to permanently install the camera, plus was very easy to install. Much better than using the accessory plug installation method. 11/4/24 Quit working. Suspect a short in the wiring because I can't get continuity. Plugs and fuses are OK. Went back to the accessory plug wiring which works fine.

Everything worked fine

This kit is great and allows you to easily tie in to your car's existing fuses and create a nice clean wiring for the camera. I did however run into an issue and Google AI get's credit for solving it. For some reason my camera would not shut off despite wiring the camera correctly per the directions. What it turned out to be is that the yellow wire, for constant power and the red wire for power at ignition turn on, were reversed. This took a quite a bit of time to get to but eventually that is what Google suggested trying, and sure enough, that solved the issue. So, if you do it right and it won't turn off, try swapping those plugs and see if that doesn't do it.

This was straightforward to install. I'm going to be frank: the reviewers that say "Oh the wiring is reverse and it stays on all the time when wired as directed" didn't install it correctly. You've got the acessory on/off connected to an always-hot fuse location, perhaps based on an (incorrect) assumption that the fuse you chose is switched. I experienced this exact scenario, the accessory fuse I was wiring into was on/off rather than always on despite the outlet it feeds turning off with the vehicle. It wasn't until I pulled out the multimeter and verified, that I realized my accessory circuit has additional relays and wiring that shut off the accessory outlet directly with the vehicle, but the fuse that feeds that circuit remains hot. For those who wire this up and it stays on all the time: check your fuses with a multimeter, and don't assume the fuse is cold because the thing it feeds turns off with the vehicle. Additionally, you need to know which side of the fuse connection is the hot side, and plug your wiring in appropriately, with the side of the connector without the wire connecting to the hot side of the fuse. It's really quite easy to do this wrong, and end up with a camera that either never turns on, stays on all the time, or shuts off even though you have parking mode enabled. Get a multimeter, verify your circuits, hook the fuse splice up in the right direction, and it'll likely work for you as intended.

Doesn't have a 90° plug. If I knew that I wouldn't have bought it. I can't speak on the compatibility of it, it's functions or anything else because it went straight to the bin. I can't use this and have a visible wire. **** UPDATE **** I decided to test it and I absolutely hate this. I wired it up with everything it came with and it doesn't work. It powers up, then goes off and stays off until I unplug it and plug it back in at the camera. I don't trust my camera anymore with this stupid kit. The constant and ignition aren't correct and constant doesn't work. The camera doesn't know it's connected to the smart kit. I want my money back!!!

good adapter for dashcam yuh

Installation was straight forward after watching mfg's videos. Problem was it only comes with one mini fuse connector and the F-150 passenger side kick panel fuse box is all mini fuse. I there fore had to purchase and additional connector set and mini fuse from a different supplier. Once the second mini fuse adapter arrived I had to cut off original barrel snap connector and butt spliced (18-22 AWG red connectors) to the new connector to one of the leads. I didn't care for the original barrel snap connectors and feared it would eventually come loose. Therefore, I cut off the second connector as well and utilized the butt splice connector and heat shrunk them both. I utilized Slot # 27 (unused by Ford 30amp) for the constant power and Slot # 35 (400watt power invertor also 5 amp) for the ignition power. There are other spare fuse socket available but you can not necessarily install the fuse adapter wire to them due to spacing or the way the fuse box is recessed. After doing all this I had no power to my camera. After thinking about it for a while I decided to flip each fuse connector over and boom power now. I learned that the fuse slots have a positive and negative and once fuse connector were installed with fuse point up it matched the polarity and powered up. I would suggest before running all cables and removing multiple fascia pieces you test the connections an insure camera powers up before taking the extra time and effort to run the cabals behind all the facia panels and pieces. I also suggest having print out of the F-150's fuse box as the new manuals do not come with one. A mulit-meter or 12 VDC test list also helps when locating the constant and ignition power fuses.

Defective and broken product sent. The wires are taped up and sent without any quality checks. Not sold by rexing. Worst experience ever.

1. Perfect Smart wiring Kit for your car 2. Works Perfectly with M2 Dashcam in my VW Vento 3. The 24hrs monitoring is good and effective 4. Does not drain your Car Battery 5. Indian Seller does not know the compatibility of the Smart Wire Kit with M2 but after checking with Rexing USA ordered this product and installed in my VW Vento.

Dose the job

The hardwire kit is high quality and easy to install. I connected it to my fuse box and it works great with parking mode. The cable length is perfect, and the voltage protection gives peace of mind. Recommended for anyone with a Rexing dash cam.
