Hello everyone, welcome back to the Shed and welcome to another video involving the venerable little R50 Mini Cooper.
What I am going to be doing is fitting a Nextbase Dashcam into the vehicles windscreen but I want it to be able to turn on whenever the ignition is switched on. If it didn't then it could mean that it needs to be manually turned on and we all know that is not something that most people could be bothered to do!
The process is pretty straightforward if not a little fiddly but is easily achievable by anyone at home on the driveway.
Just for interest, Halfords (A UK motorfactors store) will charge you £35 GBP just in labour alone to fit these devices for you, and that doesn't include the cost of the hardwire kit either for which Halfords would charge an additional £20, so you'd be looking at an additional £55 on top of the cost of the camera if you were to get them to do it for you!
The hardwire kit that I used, as I said in the video is not a genuine Nextbase one but a clone product that is available on eBay for only £7.54 which is a 3rd of the cost of the genuine Nextbase item and works just as well!
