Kevin Gilmour Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi I have a 2019 Forester eBoxer and I am going to instal a dash cam system (front and separate rear camera) which requires a permanent feed (even when the car is locked) and a switched feed (that only becomes live when the engine is on) Can anyone tell me the best location to make these connections please ? Thanks, Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimboy Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Try this info. https://dashcameras.net/dash-cam-subaru-eyesight/ The fuse box is under the steering wheel. Lots of info on YouTube or Google I had this https://www.thinkware.com/Products/Dashcam/F800PRO installed by a mobile fitter, supplied and fitted for the cost of the camera on Amazon!! Only took him about 20mins Front camera fitted behind the rear view mirror, EyeSight works fine. Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteB Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I ran a fused line direct from the Battery into the cabin (my live also powers the GFB electronic boost controller, wideband and boost gauge) The switched live I got from the fuse box with a fused jumper https://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/stereo-fittings/autoleads-blade-add-a-fuse-576436.html Found a switched live using a multi meter. On my SF5 it was fuse 9 I believe. My 10 inch display also automatically switches to rear view full screen when reversing, I did this by splicing into the reverse bulb signal wire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackL98 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Mine has an Amazon supplied plug into the OBD socket to power the camera. Simple, neat and tidy.. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
