How to install a Garmin Dash Cam and Parking Model Cable into the fuse box

For this installation I’m using my 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan 4Motion, the Garmin Dash Cam Tandem and Garmin Parking Mode Cable, however the instructions in this installation video can apply to almost any other Dash Cam model and Parking Mode accessory cable.

First off you’re going to need a few tools and accessories to get this installation underway, the first being some piggyback car fuse tap adapters, a cable crimping tool to connect the fuse adapters to the cable ends of the parking mode accessory cable, some spare blade fuses to match the fuse ratings of where you will connect the piggyback fuse adapters, a circuit tester or multimeter to test which fuses are constant live and which are switched accessory position and finally the parking mode cable itself.

All of the accessories needed for this installation can be found at your local automotive supply store and are all general low cost items.

Just make sure you take time to identify which fuses protect which function in the vehicle. DO NOT piggyback any fuses that protect safeguard systems such as SRS restraints Airbags or any other vital in car system such as engine management ECU and transmission control units, etc.

In my installation I have used one unoccupied fuse slot for continuous live and for the accessory switched position I have used the vehicles parking aid fuse. Also it’s important to note that when you are testing the fuse positions that the positive end is matched correctly with the fuse tap piggyback adapter, the positive end on the adapter will always be the end furthest away from the cable.

This is my first instructional video guide so apologies for the filming angles, it’s a bit tricky doing this all one-handed.

Anyway I do hope this video is helpful and makes the installation a little bit easier for anyone looking to attempt this. I am not an expert and gained my knowledge researching online watching similar videos before attempting this installation.
