Ah, I get what you are saying about parking mode.
I ust finished hard wiring my dashcam in my Lusso. Not too difficult as you can find all the fuses you need in the passenger footwell. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for taking and putting up those photos! That should provide a good guide for someone interested in doing the same.
Can I ask a dumb question? Why do you WANT a dashcam? I’ve heard rumors that it’s difficult to not occasionally and accidentally stray a touch over the speed limit in cars like these. So I’m curious as to the advantage of a dashcam.
Thanks for the pics. Can I ask what interior leather colour you Lusso is and do you have more pics of the car? I’m thinking of getting a Lusso myself and yours looks very nice.
Interior is Cuoio. I’ll upload a couple of interior pics to the Lusso picture thread. You cant go wrong with the Lusso. I am totally addicted now, and I am getting only nice comments about it. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Well yes, if you do break the law while driving, it might backfire. Although in most cases you will still be able to remove the memory card from it before anybody sees it, and claim you didnt have a card in it. But I tend to obey the law to the best of my abilities, and find it very comforting to know that everything is recorded. I work a lot in Africa, and in many occasions the cameras have proven useful, for some minor fenders benders, to cases where the police was trying to fine us for things we hadnt done. In addition, I like the fact that the camera keeps recording while the car is parked. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Well, it depends on the camera. Not all do record the driven speed. Still have not bought/installed mine as I'm having a very busy first 7 months (of the year) but intend to do that later on. The reason why ... a pure safety thing for me. Being able to record (thus proof) when I get an accident (or damage) caused by another party. People do the weirdest things. Seen a guy, trying to take a picture of mine, holding the phone with one arm (outside the car) and then he needed to press the button ... with his other arm. Do you think there still was an arm at the steering wheel? So his car started to swirl but fortunately nothing happened. Others like to record a ride on a windy road or track. So there are plenty of reasons and the amount to pay for it does not need to be much. Cluttering up the windscreen is the worst bit of it.
Thank you for posting this. Where on the footwell are the fuses? Do you remember the fuse shots you used and the fuse style ? I’m going to do exactly what you did.
The fuse box is behind the passenger footplate. Unscrew the screws holding the aluminium plate and the whole plate will flip forward. I cant remember the fuse numbers, but from the pics you can see I see the top most one on the right hand side for the permanent 12V, and the top most one on the left hand side for the ACC+. I put the fuse that was in there in the first slot of the tapping wire, and used 10A fuses one the second slot (which is the one connected to the dashcam). All the fuses are mini fuses (not micro, these will not work). I then tapped the Power Magic Pro to the back of the aluminium plate, so that it would not interfere with anything when closing the hatch. I hope this helps.
So This thread needs a bump. Everything Max said here is spot on for wiring the Blackvue to the Lusso fuse box and having zero experience, I did this in about an hour. Needed metric Allen wrenches for the bolts in footwell, needle nose pliers to pull fuse, and flathead screwdriver for pushing power cord in along windshield molding.
