Dual Dash Cam Installation

[Brownstone1892]

Just bought this Aukey DR02 D dual dash cam, which I'm going to be installing in my MY2017 C7.

I have a few queries I'm hoping you guys can help with:

• Routing cables to rear camera, would anyone suggest via the headlining, or the floor?
• Might there be DAB signal issues with the MY2017 like there are with older models?
• Would anyone like me to document this installation with photos and a step by step?

Cheers,

The DAB issue has nothing to do with the model year/make of the car, it more to do with cheap dashcam's not being fully EMC tested so they emit a lot of interference on the DAB frequency, you can get around this with ferrites or buying one from a known manufacture which comply with all the UK's EMC laws.

Ah, cool, thanks for that. I just read a few posts where people were getting their rear screens replaced due to a known fault with DAB reception, which appeared to be fixed with newer models.

Run the cable along the headliner its much easier.

Dual Dash Cam
Hi,
I am very interested in your installation of the Aukey DRO2 dual dash cam and if you have had any issue's with your DAB sinal since installation.
I have been considering fitting the Aukey dual dash cam into my 2018 - A8
Had used the Aukey Dash cam in my previous car which was a Jaguar XJ and had no problems,very pleased with the quality of the recordings for price it cost.

Today is finally installation day.

I'll keep you all updated...

Right, the front camera's installed along with the GPS receiver, and it's working perfectly.

I'll put a guide together shortly...

I'm happy to report zero issues with DAB reception using the front camera.

Any pics of the finished install? Looking at dashcam options at the moment.

Have you finalised the installation?

I'm about to install/ hardwire 2CH camera's and would appreciate any guidance.
I chose the Viofo A129 pro duo which is similar to your dash cam.
I'm installing it into a 2016 A6 AVANT and have a general idea of what needs doing but interested in how others have done it, the problems they have encountered and how they have overcome them.
Forseeable problems so far:
The ferrite core for the power cable will be difficult to tuck under windscreen headlining. Initial considerations looks like it will dent headlining. The headlining light cluster may need removal to assist.
The lead for the rear camera is chunky and may be difficult to hide.
Airbag considerations having read various posts.
Getting camera lead to rear camera on tailgate as there is no rubber sleeve containing existing wire looms - must be in the tailgate hinges as they have plastic coverings.
Wanting to push rear camera cable through headlining but have panoramic roof.
Anticipating lots of trim removal but need to ensure going to do it correctly.

If anyone reading has useful links for year of vehicle they would be appreciated. Youtube has some good vids but veh's are out of date now.
TIA.
