The Hardwire Kit will protect your dashcam from draining your vehicle’s ba�ery. If ba�ery voltage gets too low, ROVE Hardwire Kit will stop powering your camera to save enough power, so you can start your car for the next �me. Now once you start to drive your car and when the ba�ery star�ng to charge and when the voltage reaches higher than the set cut-off voltage protec�on, then the hardwire kit will resume it’s func�on normally, un�ll again the voltage reaches the cut-off level.
There are 2 main stages in the hardwire kit installa�on. Connec�ng input cables to your fuse box and grounding. Connec�ng output cable to your dashcam.
1 LOCATE YOUR FUSE BOX Locate your fuse box using your Fuse Box Diagram. This informa�on can usually be found in your vehicle’s Owner’s User Manual or from your manufacturer’s website. Fuse box is located behid this panel. (Example Shown: Honda Civic) NOTE: To Determine the location of your vehicle’s fuse box refer to the vehicle owner’s manual. It will instruct you on how to get access to your fuse box. In above case, we have removed the top panel to get access to the fuse box.
2 FIND THE CORRECT FUSE SLOT FOR YOUR HARDWIRE KIT The next thing to do is to understand which fuse slot to use. You will need to find two fuse slots to be used in this step. 1 A fuse Slot that provides constant power (RED wire will go here) A Fuse Slot that only provides power when you turn your key to ACC posi�on (YELLOW wire will go here) 2 Make a note of these as you will need to refer this back in step 4 part 2, and step 5.
For ROVE Ul�mate 3-lead hardwiring kit, there are 3 wires that need to be connected: RED Wire A�aches to the Constant Power Fuse Slot (Always Hot - means this fuse always provides power even when your car key is locked and turned off). YELLOW Wire A�aches to the ACC Power [Igni�on-Switched Fuse Means this Fuse slot only provide power when you turn your car’s key from LOCK posi�on to ACC posi�on]. BLACK Wire A�aches to the Metal Grounding Screw/Bolt.
3 IDENTIFY THE CORRECT TYPE OF FUSE FOR YOUR CAR Now, once you have iden�fied which fuse slots you need to use, let’s find out the type of Add-A-Fuse / Piggy-Back Fuse Tap to use for your car’s model. As you can see in the below pictures, there are mainly four types of fuse used for American cars. There are few quick and easy way to iden�fy the type of fuse that your car uses. 1 Remove one of the fuses from your car’s fuse box and match it with one of the fuses in the picture below.
4 INSERT RED, YELLOW & BLACK CABLES 1 Now lets connect and then the RED & Yellow Wires securely with piggyback fuse-taps using a crimp tool or a pair of pliers. Connect the hard wire with Add-A-Fuse Crimp the Add-A-Fuse to secure the connec�on Fig: Crimp the fuse taps with Red & Yellow wires REMINDER If you are using the previously iden�fied fuse slot that has exis�ng fuse in it, then insert that fuse into the lower slot of the Add-A-Fuse with correct orienta�on.
Fig: Add-A-Fuse / Piggyback Fuse Tap 2 Now simply insert the piggyback fuse tap into the previously iden�fied Fuse Slots.

5 LOCATING A GROUND POINT Now, let’s connect the BLACK Wire to the Grounding Screw or Bolt. Bad Grounding Choice (Screw on Plas�c) GOOD GROUNDING CHOICE (Screw on Metal Chassis) NOTE: See the picture above for reference. We recommend that you choose the metal Chassis Grounding Screw, or it may cause your dash cam to not function properly and restart/reboot when power does not flow properly.
6 TUCKING UP AND ROUTING THE CABLES NEATLY Now, let’s test the dash cam. Once you have hooked up all three wires (Red, Yellow and Black) to proper posi�ons, plug the Mini-USB cable into the camera and then start your vehicle to test the dash cam and parking mode. Make sure to turn ON the parking mode feature from your dash cam’s se�ngs. If the test passes then Voila..., You did it, Great Job.
