How do I connect my BlackVue camera? The only DC outlet is on top of the dash. Do the make any kind of adapter for the other kind of outlets (standard plug or usb) ? Thanks

Get a Blackvue hard wire power cable...$15.99 on Amazon. There is also a You Tube video for the install.

All of mine have been hardwired in and I’ve added the battery packs for peace of mind.

With the battery pack does it record when the truck is off

 

[PorBoy]

Yes it does which has allowed me a ton of footage of areas in which I’ve parked.

Do you have a specific battery pack that you would recommend? I have a hardwire kit; but I have been a little leery about using a battery pack.

Except if you want to record while at the dealer... They usually unplug to run diags etc.
This is how I have my V1 RD connected, which is no biggie, but on a dash cam, I would hardwire.

Cheers,

I thought this option would work best for the OP.

He seems like he was looking for a plug & Play solution.

This is how I mounted and plugged my V1 RD up.

Dashboard Platform Beanbag & Suction Cup Mount for Radar Detector

This heavy weighted Beanbag friction mount has been perfect for the basin on the front dash and I was able to tuck all of the wires underneath. It has not moved since I placed it there and I live off a curvy road...
