After installing your ThinkWare Dash Cam, powering it on is straightforward. Here's how to ensure it works correctly, depending on your vehicle type:
For vehicles with combustion engines:
- With the vehicle's ignition off, connect the IGN-3F to the 10-Pin Molex connector on the HWK-TW01-HAR.
- When you start the vehicle, the LED on the IGN-3F should change from flashing to solid, showing the dash cam is receiving power.
For vehicles with electric motors:
- Find the nearest switched accessory power receptacle (cig plug) and connect the provided power receptacle "T" harness in-line with the factory harness and the receptacle.
- Route the 10-pin Molex side of the “T” harness to the OBDII area and connect it to the mating 10-Pin Molex connector installed previously.
- With the ignition off and the IGN-3F plugged in, the LED should flash slowly. The LED will turn solid when the vehicle is started.
Operation:
- The dash cam turns on automatically when the vehicle starts and stays on during start/stop sequences.
- It turns off about two and a half minutes after the vehicle is shut down.
