The installation method for the voltage reduction cable of the Tiggo 5x dash cam is: 1. Insert the dash cam's voltage reduction cable into the gap of the car roof lining; 2. Pull down the door seal strip; 3. Use both hands to pry open the A-pillar trim panel and insert the cable into the door seal strip; 4. From the top of the A-pillar, follow the door frame downwards, installing the seal strip while inserting the cable into it; 5. Extend the cable out at the bottom of the dashboard and connect it to the vehicle's electrical system. The Tiggo 5x is a compact SUV from Chery Motors, with body dimensions of 4358mm in length, 1830mm in width, 1670mm in height, a wheelbase of 2630mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters.
When installing the voltage reducer cable for a dash cam on my Tiggo 5x, I prefer to start from the basics. The voltage reducer cable connects the dash cam to the car's power supply, converting the vehicle's 12V DC power to a safe 5V to protect the device. Before installation, prepare the voltage reducer cable kit, a multimeter, wire strippers, and a small screwdriver. Locate the car's fuse box, typically found under the steering wheel or behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the cover and refer to the fuse diagram to select an ACC position, which is a key-controlled power source that conveniently cuts off power when the engine is off to protect the battery. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent short circuits. Use a fuse tap to clamp onto the ACC fuse slot, connect the positive wire to the output end of the fuse tap, and tighten the negative wire to a metal screw on the car body for grounding. Route the cable along the roof or door edge seams, hiding it neatly to avoid obstructing the windshield view. Finally, connect the dash cam and test it—it should start recording immediately when the key is turned on. Throughout the process, be patient and careful to avoid pulling the wires, ensuring stable power supply for safe trip recording.
