How to Install a Dash Cam in a Verano?

Steps to install a dash cam in a Verano: 1. Determine the optimal installation position for the dash cam. It is recommended to install it on the right side of the interior rearview mirror, as centered as possible, to ensure a proper filming angle and higher reference value. 2. Plan the wiring route based on the length of the power cable. It's advisable to simulate the wiring path first to confirm if the cable is sufficiently long. 3. After finalizing the dash cam's position and wiring route, the first step is to tuck the power cable into the gap of the vehicle's headliner. 4. Once the cable is tucked into the headliner, pull down the door frame weatherstrip, then firmly pry open the A-pillar trim panel with both hands. Most A-pillar trims are secured with clips and may feel tight during initial removal—apply moderate force without hesitation. 5. The purpose of removing the A-pillar trim is not to place the cable inside the A-pillar (as many models have side airbags, raising safety concerns), but simply to allow the power cable to pass through smoothly. Afterwards, tuck the cable into the door frame weatherstrip, align the A-pillar clips, and gently tap the A-pillar trim back into place with your fist.
Installing a dash cam on the Verano isn't difficult—I just did it myself and found it quite straightforward. First, choose the mounting position—typically stick it behind the rearview mirror on the windshield, clean the glass thoroughly, and secure it with strong adhesive. Next, handle the wiring: beginners can simply plug it into the cigarette lighter, and it'll work when the car starts; for a cleaner look, route the wires discreetly through the A-pillar channel and connect to the fuse box—remember to use a voltage reducer to avoid damaging the circuit, and never cut wires randomly to prevent short circuits. When buying a dash cam, opt for one with a wide-angle lens and high-definition recording, ensuring good nighttime performance. After installation, start the car to test the camera angle, making sure it doesn't obstruct your view. Finally, set up video playback and routinely check for loose wiring. The whole process took just 20 minutes—much easier than expected.
I'm also a Verano owner, and installing a dash cam is quite simple. First, choose a high-quality adhesive mount and stick it in the upper center of the windshield, not too high to block your view. For power supply, the easiest way is to plug it into the cigarette lighter socket—it will automatically start recording when the car is turned on, without needing to touch any wiring. If you prefer a cleaner look, tuck the cable along the edge of the windshield into the A-pillar trim. For connecting to the fuse box, use professional tools and avoid tampering with fuses yourself to prevent damage. After installation, test the recording to ensure it's clear and stable. Regular maintenance includes checking that the mount doesn’t loosen, and positioning it behind the wiper blades to avoid water accumulation. Overall, it's a straightforward process with no major complications.
