Blackvue dashcam install
Looking to install the Blackvue 550 front and rear camera set up with the power controller hardwired in. Anyone done this and have a step by step guide?

Disco3 forum are running a group buy currently for others thinking of doing the same.

I put one in the D4 with the Power Magic controller hardwired in. Well, I say I did...I got an auto sparky to do it, it was much easier! An engine to TDi for!

It comes with a fag lighter!
This is the Power Magic which controls it when ignition is off:

That doesn't give much info really, voltage details etc are just to differentiate between engine on approx 14.2v (est) with alternator charging or 12.2v (est) at rest.
So full power draw with engine running, engine and ignition off it will run a preselected time after then turn off.
I would imagine it'll be a ground / earth, constant fused live and ignition switched live.

If it's voltage sensitive it might not even need ignition just constant live.
