Wonder why theyw ould do that.Can you post a picture? I've heard rumors that Tesla has removed other unused connectors from the car, so I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm having the Inavi FXD900 Vehicle Dual cameras (front and rear) installed on Saturday. View attachment 27695
We'll be trying to tap into that power source. Will post after it's done.
Artsci, I hope the installation goes better than your 1-star review on Amazon about the cameras :smile:
Hello Artsci any updates on how your camera install went or if you are pleased?
I'm sure leaving it powered 24/7 and taking it to Vegas in July has not helped the matter, either. Recommend staying away from this particular product. Perhaps the 500 is less susceptible to heat.

I was considering installing a second BlackVue camera in the back. A combined solution with better video is of interest.
Heat destroys all electronics. Yes, the 500 is claimed to be more tolerant of heat, but even the 500 will die if treated as you treated your 400.
I'd guess that this is heat related. Glad I got rid of mine when I did.And how do you think I should treat it? Am I not supposed to take it where I take my car? I suppose I should unplug it when I'm parked, even though it has a parking mode that it automatically enters?

Where would you get the power from???
I was able to tap the power from the auto dimming mirror using a mirror tap cable from safe n sound. The have an eBay store and look for the Whistler style plug, which is the same as the Blackvue plug.
Only problem with the power from the auto dimming mirror is that its not constant, so can't use the parking feature.
Auto dimming mirror in the back? /confused.
In the front most of us have used an unused connector behind the speaker/mic grille in the ceiling. It's unswitched and doesn't require tapping.
I'm speaking for the front and those that don't have the used connector.
The newer cars don't have the unused connector as Tesla started removing unused wires...

I had mine professionally done, and they tapped into a persistent 12V near the diagnostic port along the driver's side A pillar.Now, where do people suggest the best place to tap a persistent 12v to take advantage of the parking mode recording?
