How to Install the Dash Cam on Lynk & Co 03?
4 Answers
After starting the Lynk & Co 03, the dash cam will automatically turn on. Insert the memory card into the dash cam, then select the dash cam option in the Lynk & Co APP's services to connect to it. Below is an introduction about Lynk & Co: 1. Introduction: The Lynk & Co 03 is built on the CMA platform jointly developed by Geely and Volvo. 2. Exterior: At the rear, the Lynk & Co 03 features 'L'-shaped taillights and dual round exhaust pipes, which are similar to those of the concept car, giving it high recognition. 3. Powertrain: In terms of power, the Lynk & Co 03 is expected to offer a choice between a 1.5T three-cylinder and a 2.0T four-cylinder engine.
I recently installed a dash cam on my Lynk & Co 03, and the easiest way was tapping power from the overhead console. First, stick the dash cam mount on the right side of the windshield (rearview mirror area) without blocking visibility. Then, gently pry open the driver-side overhead light cover (just lift the edges). Locate the ACC power wire marked in the manual, use the dedicated plug for connection, and route the wiring completely hidden. Finally, snap the dash cam onto the mount and power it up for testing. The whole process took just 30 minutes—clean look and convenient charging. Important note: wire sequences vary by model year, so check forum wiring diagrams shared by owners before installation to prevent short circuits.
If you want to play it safe, tapping power from the fuse box is the most reliable method. Prepare a mini fuse tap and a 5A fuse. After turning off the engine, locate the fuse box under the steering wheel. Use a test light to identify the constant power port (tab F37) and the ACC port (F15), then connect the dashcam's red wire to ACC and yellow wire to constant power. Route the wires along the A-pillar trim gap to the roof (avoid interfering with airbags), feed the connector through, and mount the main unit above the windshield. This method requires some DIY skills but results in factory-like neat wiring. It's recommended to have a plastic trim removal tool handy, as prying panels by hand may leave scratches.
The easiest installation method is using the cigarette lighter. Just buy an ultra-short cable and run it down from the rearview mirror directly into the front power socket. However, this leaves the wire exposed and looks untidy. Let me teach you how to hide the wire: Use a plastic pry tool to tuck the cable into the gap at the top of the windshield headliner, then press it down along the passenger-side A-pillar rubber seal (make sure not to block the side airbag). Pry open a small gap in the door seal and tuck the cable in, running it all the way to the center console. Leave about 20 cm to plug into the cigarette lighter for a perfectly hidden setup! Remember to unplug it during daytime parking to avoid draining the battery, and choose a braided anti-tangle cable for durability.
