When it comes to the Dash Cam placement, there are plenty of unique factors when it comes to this specific installation.
This 2019 S63 AMG Sedan is a European vehicle, and as can sometimes be the case with these, the fusebox was actually located in the trunk of the vehicle, off to the passenger side behind some panelling. Fuseboxes in the rear of vehicles are traditionally quite difficult to wire to for dash cams, as you’d need to run the cable from the rear, all the way up to the main unit on the front windshield. This is problematic because it is a fair bit of work, and standard hardwire kits are normally not long enough to reach that far, requiring an extension. But not for the DR770X Box!! With it’s unique design, the head unit is the Box itself, and we can easily rest it in the trunk as well, close to the fusebox. For this installation, we decided to remove the entire trunk cover through a few screws, and install the DR770X underneath the trunk itself. Let’s see an intruder break into the box now!
The Box unit is fixed with Velcro straps underneath the trunk, which are included in the box.
For positioning of the front, IR and rear units, we recommend connecting through the BlackVue app, where you can live-view the camera, which will feature horizontal and vertical mounting lines which you can use to find the ideal mounting position and viewing angle for your camera. For this installation, we placed the front and interior cameras on the front windshield, with the rear camera on the rear windshield.
Note: Ensure the front camera is properly identified from the other cameras of the DR770X Box. This model is unique from the others, and should stay at the front of the vehicle.
