The method to install a dash cam on the Geely Boyue: 1. Route the main power cable and GPS cable down the A-pillar, stick the GPS module in the corner of the dashboard, and install the GPS signal receiver. 2. Open the right cover of the dashboard to securely install the GPS, then route the power cable along the underside of the glove compartment to the car's power socket and plug it in. The dash cam installation is now complete. Here are some related details: 1. The Geely Boyue dash cam directly draws power from the cigarette lighter socket. It is recommended to install the dash cam on the original rearview mirror to maintain the car's interior aesthetics. 2. In terms of appearance, the front face remains the most striking feature, with the ripple-style grille offering a layered look and the eagle-eye headlights appearing sharp. The side profile adopts the popular floating roof design, while the rear features a full-bodied design with a narrow top and wide base, complemented by prominent dual exhaust pipes for a bold appearance.
I've personally modified quite a few cars, and installing a dash cam is pretty straightforward. First, mount the dash cam on the windshield, preferably near the rearview mirror, ensuring the view isn't obstructed. Then, connect the power from the cigarette lighter, tuck the wire along the edge of the windshield into the trim, run it down the A-pillar, and hide the wires to avoid tripping. Before starting, remember to test the power to see if the dash cam works properly. Last time I installed one on my Boyue, I didn't hide the wires well and kept hearing a clicking sound while driving, so I had to redo it. The key is to be careful—don't yank the wires; use a plastic pry tool to gently tuck them in. The Boyue has decent space, so wiring isn't too troublesome. Finally, adjust the camera angle to face straight ahead for clear recordings. After installation, check it regularly to ensure the lens doesn't get dusty and affect the video quality.
