2013 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Santorini Black

I mounted mine here - it's to the left but seems a wide enough field of vision & I can't see it

the cable then just pushes up into the headlining - no effort or tricks - I just tucked it in - then ran it across the top of the pillar air bag - big screwdriver to lever it open just enough to tuck the cable in -

Then behind the door rubber the other side - just lift that with your fingers & the cable sits behind it.

Then drop the lower glovebox & open to expose the fuse box - do this by pressing down on the sides of the hinge things - as per the instruction manual - sorry for the blurred photo -

You can then push the side panel out -

you can remove that side panel completely with a bit of twisting, then route the cable into the fuse box area and replace the panel.

Fitting it to the fusebox, I used a mini piggyback fuse and as there was nowhere easy to bolt an earth to, I used a crocodile clip mount the metalwork.

I can't remember which fuse I used, but you can make it out from the blur maybe - but it was an ignition live one rather than permanent.

From the outside you can hardly see it - my telepeage tag is more of a distraction -

I hope that helps

I wondered who would be the first to spot that

It didn't particularly hurt & doesn't now - but does look a mess

Not a FFRR related injury - caught between door & frame

2018 Range Rover Autobiography 2.0 PHEV Carpathian Grey

No way was I touching the trim in my RR Autobiography, so I used eric at www.dashwitness.com and he arranged the Blackvue cam and a very professional specialist fitting service who came to the house and did it. Discount on the car insurance now, yippee!!

I moved it down and in a bit yesterday - I was picked my up too much of the blacked out area - it was clear enough, just irritated me - if I moved it more to the passenger side I lost the drivers corner of the bonnet

nice install Alistair, I did a similar thing on my old L322 (the wire was a bit more difficult to route) but I was dreading doing it on my 405 thinking the trim was going to be a lot more fiddly to get off....and of course breaking something on my new pride and joy

On the positive side you are road legal if you have one with a visible screen as you aren't supposed to be able to view them on the move I understand. I have mine mounted behind the rear view mirror for that reason.

the screens can be programed to switch off after about one minute so staying within the law. ... - .- -.
