Hi, spent an hour yesterday installing a dashcam to the front and rear of my RR . I used the Mini 0906 dashcam due to using it in a BMW X1 install and it seems a very good front and rear dashcam.

First was finding a fuse that goes on/off with the car ignition . I used the cigarette lighter fuse behind the passenger glove box ( the relay turns on and off the cigarrete lighter when the doors lock/unlocks .. so not quite an ignition live fuse but good enough).

Used a Fusetap and a USB/Multi Cigarette lighter adapter to power the camera and grounded on a chassis bolt. I have used hardwire kits before for the dashcam but had one damage a dashcam ! so now stick to fused cigarette adapters.

Fitted the 0906 dashcam to my RRS2 & connected it into the overhead light panel, saves running wires down the A pillar into the fusebox

I simply piggy backed off fuses 48 permanent live and 52 ignition live, never had an issue in 4 years.




Cheers
Col

Its not too bad a job. Did same myself, cables easy to hide. Piggy back fuse holder onto 12v front socket so fires up on opening door and shuts off about 5 min after ignition off.

If you are careful & lubricate the cable with WD40 / GT85 or similar you can feed the cable through the concertina 'bellows' that run from the body to the tailgate to make it a touch neater.

I used a stiff piece of wire and taped the rear dash-cam cable to it to pull it through the bellows. You just need to lower the rear of the headlining a small amount to access the end of the bellows. I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.
