It’s fairly easy to run the wire to the rear for the rear camera you just need to tuck it in between the rubber trim and the roof liner. On the rear of the car, drop down the rubber trim for the hatch and then you can feed the wire inside the roof liner to the rubber tube that has wires for the brake light for the hatch. Pop off the rubber boot from the hatch to main body, tape the camera harness to a large tie wrap or coat hanger and carefully feed the wire through the rubber boot on the bottom side only of the boot careful that you don’t damage any wires. Mount the camera where the rear wiper wipes as this will be off center to the back window. Bundle any extra length of wire and store inside the roof liner.
If your camera is 12 volts, remove the rubber trim above the driver’s door, push open the “A” pillar - it will only open about 1.5 inches and feed the power lead down the side behind the airbag and feed the wire into the fuse panel area. You will see a 10mm nut at the lower left side of the fuse panel for the ground wire, positive wire to a fuse tap for either the washer motor fuse or the 15 amp Spare fuse which is 4 in from the top left. Fuse tap must be installed with the lead going down as the top of the fuses are the live points in the Tucson.

 

Sweet thanks I will give that a try.

 

I have front & rear dash cams. For the front, I grabbed power from the connector for the mirror. I have seen adapters you can buy, but I just hardwired it.
As for the rear, I used the existing 12V outlet back there. I made a small hole just below it, cut the power cable and fed it through. I literately just went outside to take these pics and its dark already, but you get the idea lol.

 

I ordered a Viofo A129 4k and 1080p rear which get power from the front. I have tried the mirror in my 20 Sonata but it did work. Possibly because it powers both but not sure.

 

Just to be sure, you know you’re posting in a 2022 Tucson subforum and not the Sonata one so you may not get the info you’re needing?

Everyone replying is going to be giving you info pertaining to the 2022 Tucson.

Just curious - what do you guys do with these dash cams?

 

Record the idiots when they do dangerous stuff nearly causing an accident with me, then share the video on our family what's app group and exclaim, what an idiot! That's what I do with mine.

 

To the OP, I was able to run the wiring for both cameras by carefully tucking it behind trim panels all the way from front to rear without removing any trim. I just used the cigarette lighter plug that came with the unit and ran the wire down the side of the windshield across and up to to the center console. That 12v plug is powered only when the car is on so can't use parking mode, but the 12v battery in the hybrid is so small parking mode has a pretty limited time you can run it anyhow on our car.

 

Good call out as I should have mentioned it was a hybrid.

 

For the front I purchased this dongar adapter so I wouldn't have to go through the running and hiding of the wire routine ....

For the rear camera, I just bought a separate Garmin mini dash cam and used the 12 volt outlet in the back and hid the wires inside the liftgate molding.

I think that is a great little connector however it has not been available for weeks and their site said last time I looked they have no timetable for when they can get the parts needed.
Someone could splice to the wiring there instead but I'd rather wait for one of these to become available.

 

I got a Garmin for the front and a Garmin Mini for the rear. It was easy to tuck the wires in the panels (that was my biggest worry) and the 12V in the trunk is **** convenient.

 

I have a Vantrue N4 dual dash cam in the front, and a Vantrue N2 dual dash cam in the rear. Both cams are powered by the included 12v cigarette lighter adapter(s) which are plugged into a switched multi-port 12v cigarette lighter splitter mounted under the drivers seat with industrial strength Velcro.

I cut the cigarette lighter plug off the splitter and used a fuse tap to connect it to the fuse panel under the dash (constant power). The rear cable runs under the door sills, the front cable under the center console, and the splitter cable runs under the door sill.

The switch on the splitter allows me to power off the cams while the car is parked long-term so as not to drain the battery too much, otherwise I leave the cams powered on.

 

I've found a very good set of instructions here for installing a dashcam in the front and back of a Tucson.
Used them to install the front dashcam in my Tucson.

You can use fuses 5 and 6 to power the dashcam(s).

 

I am not seeing any chance for a short circuit the way the tap is installed unless the car is involved in a bad accident; in which case I’ll likely have bigger problems to worry about.

Besides, the tap won’t install the other way. Not enough clearance for the fuse and the edge of the panel.

 

I think your fuse tap is upside down as in the lead should be down and not up. The top of the fuse is hot and the way you have it plugged in, there is no protection if the line is shorted.

 

I always tap the mirror for 12V power. Makes for a much shorter and cleaner run and easier than going to the fuse box. I hid the 12V to USB power adapter within the housing behind the mirror. For the rear camera, I tucked the cable along the driver's side edge of the headliner, and ran it through the rubber grommet under the hatch for a totally clean look.

I included couple of photos of the trim pieces to show where the snaps are to help with removal.

 

Here's how I installed the fuse taps. Because nr. 6 is upside down, I had to cut out a piece of plastic to make room for the cable.

 

The left fuse Tap is not fusing anything in that installed orientation.

Feed in box at that fuse location comes in on the bottom.

 

Hey, just now officially 'Follow'-ing. Batches of great intel in here, thanks.

 

Vinny,
My wife has had only two wrecks in a half-century plus of driving. Funny that the one her fault was turning into traffic just 2 months after getting her license, and the other one (not her fault) was 15 years later the other driver doing exactly the same. So pretty much the same rationale as yours for protecting her from any ne'er-do-wells out there in the event of a future incident.

 

The Dimming Mirror connector is available again, at this time only on their site not on Amazon.

Where do you get this information from? Because it will fuse.

 

Not the way you show it.

As mentioned the feed is on the bottom, at that location so how you believe its fused is interesting.

Did you test for the line and load side of the fuse socket?

It's basic electrical circuitry.

The load must come out of the fuse, not from the line side as you have it.

 

I have tested it with a multi meter. That's why I know it will fuse.

And here's a schematic of a fuse tap:

(Source: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/...b692f706f7765722f667573652f46757365253230746170253230736368656d617469632e6a7067)

 

Your diagram is correct. I have found the fuse terminals that I have tested to have the positive side (live side) towards the top which means the wire tap will run down. It is always best to test for the live side by removing the fuse and check for live side with a multimeter. Using the “Spare” fuses work well for attaching accessories.

 

If you do mount them upside down, the bonus safety is that the current runs through 2 fuses before it reaches the dashcam.

 

I installed the Dongar connector. Simple straight forward took all of 15 - 20 minutes. And that only because I was being very careful taking off the plastic shroud and carful putting it back on. The video on their site is very helpful for that.

What a great idea for a product and it works exactly as it should. I'm using it for my Dashcam, you could put a GPS unit there too.
The Dashcam I bought has a battery backup that will turn it on when there is no power to it while parked if it feels movement or a hit to the car. It then records a short video and turns off. It is possible to replace the battery though maybe not meant to be. And probably works a few times before needing to be recharged. But I was not really concerned about that feature so it's a bonus.

Their site mentions they have been swamped with selling the Hyundai/Kia one.

What kind of Dashcam did you get? Is it noticeable or fit behind the mirror? Can you post a link to it?
Thanks
