Dash cam wiring
I ordered a new Tucson PhEV Ultimate. Asked about dash cam, dealership don't supply or fit one and also said if 3rd party hardwired it would invalidate warranty as they have had problems with 3rd party wired dash cams throwing up faults with cars electronics and wiring. Poor show. I really don't want wires hanging all over the place.
I think you need to contact Hyundai to get an authoritative statent. When we bought our Ultimate in Septemberthe salesman said they could fit a Hyundai approved dashcam but I would get it done cheaper at Halfords. No mention of invalidating the warranty. We haven't had it done yet but it's still something being considered, so we'd be interested to hear what Hyundai say.

This was posted on Reddit a while ago if anyone on this thread might find it useful. How they did it with pictures. Should I set this as NSFW as it involves a little cutting of the trim

Picked up 12th Nov 2021: Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Hybrid 230ps Sunset Red
Has anyone made use of the 12v in the boot for a rear facing dash cam? I have two separate cams, apposed to a linked front and rear, and want to see what others have done with the 12v cabling and placement.

I have installed Nextbase dash cam, front & rear cameras, into Ultimate hybrid using the boot cigar lighter outlet.
There is no disturbance to the cars original wiring so cannot influence the warranty situation.
Although this does not operate in parking mode I have thought about utilising an auxiliary backup 12v battery to give me parking cover.
There is no way I would hard wire such a camera; this is going to give manufacturer a way out should there be any problem with the car’s electrics.

Cool, what have you done with the cable, just tucked it away? Got any pics of the boot setup?chrisdobb wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 11:18 am I have installed Nextbase dash cam, front & rear cameras, into Ultimate hybrid using the boot cigar lighter outlet.

Thanks for this information, i hadn't realised that there was a 12v socket in the boot. No need to find a fuse to piggy back on to.chrisdobb wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 11:18 am I have installed Nextbase dash cam, front & rear cameras, into Ultimate hybrid using the boot cigar lighter outlet.
