Hi there, I have hard wired my dash cam into my T28 T6, I have piggy backed the switched live off the fuse board under dash, and used the blue fuse in the centre column, I removed the side panel of dash where air bag switch is and used a screw that’s going in to metal as ground, i put ignition on and nothing happens, hope you guys can help
Hard wired Dash Cam not working

This would be a good time to use a multimeter and be sure you have the required voltages.
Also, I'm sure you've tried it both with ignition on / engine running. But I've had ones that don't work unless the vehicle is running (if the voltage goes below 12v it won't turn on)
If the feed wire has a bullet connector inline somewhere, I'd use a wire from the bottom centre of the cigarette lighter socket (providing that's working) and see if it turns on using that as a feed.

It’s a Transcend 250
Hi there, that’s a good shout as I’ve not tried it running, I thought the power came from the piggyback fuse, on the instructions it doesn’t mention a live feed, I will start it tomorrow and see what happens
