BlackboxMyCar Add-A-Fuse Kit

Simple Setup Guide

The Add-a-Fuse Kit can be used when you are installing with any hardwiring kits for your dash cam. To use the Add-a-Fuse Kit, you will need access to your vehicle's fusebox.
If you are using a standard hardwiring kit, then you should always connect the yellow wire to a constant fuse, red wire to an ignition switched/ACC fuse, and black to a ground. Consult our Hardwiring Fusebox guide if you would like more detailed instructions on hardwiring your dash cam directly into your vehicle.
For all the tools you need to properly hardwire your dash cam into your vehicle, we would recommend purchasing the Essential BlackboxMyCar Install Package.

For more detailed instructions on how to specifically use the add-a-fuse kit, check out our Add-a-Fuse Setup Guide.

Add-a-Fuse Compatibility Guide

Prior to installation, check with your hardwire installation kit to see how many fuses you will need. If your hardwiring kit has a constant + ACC, then you will need 2 fuses. If it's ACC only, then you will only need 1 fuse. By using add-a-fuses, you will turn one fuse slot in your fusebox into two for a cleaner install and added safety.

Which add-a-fuse is right for my vehicle? That answer is dependent on the vehicle that you drive. To find your answer, you can either consult your vehicle owner's manual, Google the answer, or consult the dealership where you've previously purchased the vehicle.

The options for add-a-fuses include ATO, Mini Fuse, Low-Profile and the Micro 2. All options will include their appropriate 20A fuse. If you are unsure of which fuse option to choose, select the "1 of Each" option to ensure you have one that will work for your vehicle

If you have any further questions, our product experts are here to help.

How To: Install & Crimp

What's Included

Each Add-a-Fuse Kit comes with one (1) fuse, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

When tapping into a fuse using add a fuse kit, can do the amps on the fuses have to be the same?

No, they don't have to be the same.

What is Parking Mode?

Parking mode is offered on most of the dash cams available at BlackboxMyCar. While it is important to protect your vehicle while driving, it is just as important to have your vehicle protected while it is parked. When the dash cam is in parking mode, footage will only be saved when there is an impact and/or motion. Parking mode can be enabled with a hardwiring kit or a battery pack.

For more information on parking mode, click here.

What is a Hardwire Kit?

A hardwiring kit enables parking mode. It allows your dash cam to remain powered on even when the vehicle's ignition is turned off. Installation is a breeze as you will only need to find an accessory fuse, constant fuse, and a grounding point.

What is a Battery Pack?

Most customers purchase the battery pack to avoid using the vehicle’s battery to power their dash cam. The battery pack is charged by either being hardwired into an accessory fuse or by being plugged into one of the vehicle's 12-volt cigarette sockets. We recommend the hardwiring the battery pack as it charges the battery pack quicker.

How much footage will my memory card store?

On average, a 2-channel dash cam writes 16GB/hour and a 1-channel dash cam writes about 8GB/hour.

Do I need a Rear Camera?

Accidents or events don't always happen at the front of the vehicle! Having a rear camera provides coverage for any events or accidents that may happen at the rear of the vehicle.

For more information on rear view cameras, click here.

Do I need a IR Rear Camera?

An IR camera is designed to record the interior of the vehicle in low light conditions. This option is very popular among rideshare drivers.

For more information on why rideshare drivers need dash cams, click here.

What is a CPL filter?

A CPL filter attaches to the dash cam lens to eliminate lens flares, light reflections, and windshield glares.

Add-A-Fuse Kit

Add-A-Fuse Kit made simple work of swapping my Dash Cam over into my new truck

Hi Brad, thanks for shopping with us!

1 2 3

Excellent product and fast shipping.

5 Star for BlackboxMyCar! Used on DR650S-2CH. The sticker size for the main/front camera is smaller than original sticker. But it does the job. Stick on the windshield very well.

Works Well

Not too difficult to install, provides power to the dash cam when the car is off. The hardest part of the install is finding the correct fuses to attach too. Don’t bother with the add fuses, just wrap the wires around the existing fuse.

[Limited Quantity] VIOFO A129 Pro Duo 4K 2-Channel Dash Cam with GPS

VIOFO rocks!!

Great little dash cam for the price. Easy to install and with the app easy to adjust settings. Slight delay in shipping but considering the current state of affairs well within reason. Great customer service too! Ask a question, get an answer quick.

I ware polarized lens so I know they work, But both my DR900S cams will not see the road for some time until my project car is finish.

Power inverter

A must if you let your car sit for a period of time to keep the celllink fully charged.

Thinkware Q800PRO

Awesome camera. Everything is built in. Great customer service as usual. 😁

Thanks for leaving a review, Trevor!

4 days of use... so far so good

Overall, I was very happy with the purchase process and delivery of the my A129 Pro Duo + 3 Wire ACC Hardwire Kit + CPL Filter. The drop in one star has to do with just how thick the USB cable between the rear and front cameras. It's completely workable but the amount of effort it took to route it along the trim in my Civic 2019 was pretty brutal.

In addition to this camera, I bought the necessary fuse taps and with a little learning on BBMC + various youtube videos, I was able to hardwire the camera into my car fusebox on my first try in about 2 hours. I'm quite happy with the overall results. You can't see it but I was able to fit all of the wiring and tie it in place using plastic ties underneath the panel just to the left of the steering wheel.

Quality of the camera and the recordings line up with the reviews provided online. I was able to capture the license plates of a few cars of interest by doing a snapshot of the video and zooming in (takes a few tries sometimes due to blur). Definitely couldn't have pulled that off with my older 1080p dashcam.

Thanks to Zaid for timely responses to my questions about shipping.

Hi Kenneth, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you were able to get all the instructions you needed through our videos to install your dash cam. It's great to see that it worked out! Ask us anytime if you have any questions.

Contacted BlackboxMyCar.. was immediately hooked with an agent.. told them what I was looking for and immediately given a link of where the item I requested (20 foot Coaxial Connection Cable for rear camera) could be ordered... I ordered it and it was shipped and received within 2 days... Very satisfied with my service. They were quick and efficient, I ordered our BLACKVIEW LCD Full HD 2CH and got exceptionally good customer service then as well.. Have recommended BlackboxMyCar to many.. I am considering on a purchase for my car in the Near future and will be utilizing your services again.. Thank you for being the trusted and reliable company you are...

Hardwire kit

got my cams installed last week and upon first review the only "issue" I can see is while in parking mode anytime I close the door it registers it as an impact but that may just be my settings set to "mid" may play around with the settings.

Hi Christopher, unfortunately, the dash cam does register that as an 'impact'. That's just the sensitivity of the dash cam! We're confident that you'll get used to it :)

Amazing Dash Cam

I love my VIOFO A129 Duo! It came in a few days, had no issues!

Good product and service

Thanks for leaving a review!

Viofo a129 duo 4k pro & BBMC

It was a long wait for my dadh cam due to back order but nothing BBMC could control or help, about 6 weeks!! It was well worth the wait!! The camera is awesome & easy to use & I can barely work my cell phone!! Lol Everytime I contacted BBMC for details I had a response within a day & they were always polite & helpful!!! My only complaint is there were 5 date changes from my original given date & the only reason I knew is I went to the website every few day to check if the date changed. I recommended they send an email for those, 1 day difference no biv deal but the 2nd change was by 21 days! Still can't complain!!! I even was able to purchase the extended warranty a few days after the i put in the order for the dash cam!!! I did tons of research on the dash cams & who to buy through & felt BBMC car had stellar reviews in all regards!!! I couldnt be happier with my dash cam or BBMC!!! Not to mention all the extensive you tube videos with reviews & comparisons on the dif cameras, instructional, & informational videos on all dif topics related to the cameras!!! I do have it hard wired for parking mode & it was easy to set up & put in as well as program, even the app was easy for me to use!!! I definately feel better now since I can park all alone in the furthest spot & I come out & someone is parked like a moron crooked & an inch away from my car. Not to mention I seem to be a magnet for jerks passing me on the right shoulder, or the left shoulder on the highway, or just all around stupid maneuvers that make no sense, & i don't drive like a maniac or slow so... you just can't win now a days the way people drive! People here swerve at you so you slam on your brakes or just move over just so they can get through between you & a car next to you. I had a woman run a red light & hit me while I was changing lanes on the other side of the light & somehow that was my fault even though she ran the light crossing an intersection she shouldn't have so your not safe anywhere & its somehow always your fault!! I definately recommend having a dash cam this one was worth the wait & so was ordering from BBMC!!! I also have the thinkware f200 dual dash cam same features that one doesn't have the screen on the camera but both worked well and are available here but I definately love the viofo!!! THANKS BBMC for all the work you guys put into making these easier for us non tech ladies & guys to understand & install!!!! 5 stars for both of you especially BBMC & your AWESOME customer support team!! I also was able to get my camera when it was on sale for 199$ so their pricing is definately the same if not better if you have a code or catch a sale!!!

Great customer service on my purchase

After having the dealer disconnect my Dashcam on my BMW I was concerned about how they went out of the way to unplug my cameras front and rear as well as the power cable. Glad that I had purchased a Blackvue DRS750 so I was able to buy the Tamper Proof case for it.
Thanks for the quick service in getting my purchase out to me. Packaging and tracking information was provided right away. Highly recommending blackboxmycar!

Hi Laurence, thank you for shopping with us! Great choice on the tamper proof case.

Thinkware Q800 2 channel is great!!

I got 2 of these, unfortunately after I was involved in an accident in which a dash cam video to tell my side of the story would have been highly beneficial. Anyway, I went with the IROAD OBD power option because I wanted the capability to use parking mode but man am I not the guy you’d want trying to hard wire something. The 2 vehicles are a Subaru Forester and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Hardwiring to a fuse box in the Subie is a piece of cake but the Jeep not so much, so again I went with the IROAD OBD option. My Subie is still in the shop after the accident so I haven’t installed it yet - it’s a ‘19 with EYESIGHT so placement is important. The install in the Jeep was pretty straight forward. I had the physical manual and an online version on my iPad and used them concurrently because at times I found the instructions not clear in one or the other. The app is good, I haven’t been able to make the cam stay connected to my phone yet for more than a couple minutes but to be honest I don’t think it’s necessary at this time. If it becomes so I’ll look into it harder. Bottom line - I only wish I’d gotten dash cams sooner. I’ve been telling my cautionary tale to and encouraging all my friends to really consider getting them for their cars.

Very good dual channel dash cam

Has 2K front and 1080p rear, upgrade from dr550gw-2ch. That one kept overheating and shutting down. This one is working perfect even in this hot summer. Getting another one for another car.

Camera is awesome, backorder took a long time.

The camera is great, exactly as advertised. I didn't do my research upfront and did not buy the necessary fuse taps initially, but after getting those everything works perfectly.

The item was on backorder when I ordered, and ended up taking 3+ weeks to ship. The seller never reached out to explain what was happening, but was very responsive to my questions. Once they shipped, it arrived quickly and everything I ordered (not necessary everything I needed) was in the box. I would recommend this site, but make sure you do your homework and order everything you need. Also expect backorder times to run long.

Thinkware rear cam.

Finally got it installed and set up. Clear picture. Looking forward to doing a review after a month or so.

Thanks for leaving a review, Christopher!

Nothing to rate bad !!

Easy

Hardwire kit is an easy install if your fuse box is accessible. Use the add a fuse kit to simplify installation. Mine came with 20amp fuses. This has since been rectified and they now come with the appropriate 5 amp fuses.

Great Camera

After much research, I decided to go for the U1000, the camera works great with parking mode, one of the main reasons I bought it, and the image quality is outstanding! Very happy camper.

Five stars not for tape

My stars are for the team at Blackbox not the tape. Lol

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

DR 900S very impress with this product...Friendly staff and the are very quick to respond to my questions and e-mails..Thanks
