Connect to Power

Steps:

Find the vehicle signal cables: power anode, power cathode (ground), and ignition signal (ACC ON).

Use the electro probe to test whether the cable is powered after turning off the vehicle. If the current is detected, this cable is connected to constant power and then you can test the voltage.

Identify the ACC signal cable: Test the cable with the electro probe when the vehicle is turned off and under ACC gear respectively. If no current is detected when the vehicle is turned off, but the current is detected under the ACC gear, this cable is an ACC cable. Then you can test the voltage. Make sure the vehicle power cord and ACC power cord voltage is normal when the vehicle is turned off or ignited. You can take it as the power supply point for the device.

The following figures are only for illustration. The actual vehicle model prevails.

Connect to Power

Connect G4 Device to Power

Steps:

Pull the power cord out gently from the fuse box and lead the cable up along the A pillar.

Route the cable closely along the windshield and connect it to the G4 device.

Hide the cable on the vehicle roof.

Route the Driving Safety Camera cables with the same method.
