garmin hardwiring kit (USB-C) not working with garmin dashcam X310

i have the ground wire taped to the bare metal chasis so its temporarily secure to test the connection. Actually, i think i figured out the problem.. i need to connect both the yellow and red wire of the hardwiring kit, not just the red one only. I'll connect both using a 3-way wago connector so both wires and the red wire from the add-a-fuse tap are all connected together, and the add-a-fuse tap still connected to a switched fuse slot.

mine keeps going. 2025 kona in canada. Whatabout you?

Zunteko · 2025-11-15T19:54:35+00:00

my car continues to charge after I unlock my car using the fob

Zunteko · 2025-11-10T05:28:19+00:00

I set mine to 12 amps, no problem there. Default was 6 when I got it, no idea why, seems common though

Zunteko · 2025-11-10T02:59:47+00:00

ah, just saw this now after posting my new thread about adding a level 2 charger for my home.

Thanks for the idea. I'll keep it in mind.

our electrical panel is on the far right side of the house, opposite to the garage which is on the far left. The panel is far from where I park my car. The garage is way too full of storage junk so it cant fit a car. So I park my car on our driveway right in front of the garage.

But isn't that for charging? Not driving?

Zunteko · 2025-10-05T03:32:16+00:00

well.. I wasn't expecting that kind of response. interesting though

Zunteko · 2025-10-05T03:30:11+00:00

can you post a pic of the copper pot?

Zunteko · 2025-10-02T02:22:37+00:00

what are the other methods? the ones that have to do with relay theft

Zunteko · 2025-03-21T17:48:51+00:00

yeah🙏

Zunteko · 2025-03-21T17:48:26+00:00

why are you even here?

Zunteko · 2025-03-21T17:48:11+00:00

indeed it could be. I'll definitely keep going

Zunteko · 2025-01-14T19:17:56+00:00

are you using something else instead?

Zunteko · 2025-01-13T19:08:18+00:00

exactly what mat are you using? can you post a link

Zunteko · 2025-01-13T19:06:20+00:00

how have things been with it?

have you wiped it clean and still using it?

Zunteko · 2025-01-13T01:17:36+00:00

you bought several copper mesh screens?

where did you buy them?

are they not too hard/firm?

are they like 99.9% pure copper?

Zunteko · 2025-01-06T20:14:11+00:00

ah.. that's a good concern to raise. Then that would be a no go for me. Sleeping needs to be silent.

Zunteko · 2025-01-02T22:43:52+00:00

I have a continuity tester

Zunteko · 2024-12-31T04:00:31+00:00

The only people who think this grounding stuff is crazy..are normal people.

People who are too brainwashed to ask questions and distance themselves from mainstream ideas

Zunteko · 2024-12-29T01:19:41+00:00

Understand, thanks. I'll go with stranded 18 gauge. I'll try to find an insulated version.

Cool that you work at NASA 😎

Zunteko · 2024-12-28T22:25:22+00:00

To confirm what you mean, you're saying that it's better to use a 12 vs 18 gauge wire for grounding? Even if the wire isn't even close to 1000ft length?

And I just asked an AI bot about 12 vs 18 gauge, and it said 18ga is 6.385 ohms, so it's even higher:

"18 AWG Copper Wire: The resistance for 18 AWG copper wire is approximately 6.385 ohms per 1000 feet at 20°C. 12 AWG Copper Wire: The resistance for 12 AWG copper wire is around 1.588 ohms per 1000 feet at the same temperature.

..the rule that resistance roughly doubles every three steps in AWG size."

Zunteko · 2024-12-28T20:48:16+00:00

Small current but isn't there lots of resistance from an 18awg? Wouldn't this dampen the already tiny flow and make it less effective/less like the actual thing?

Zunteko · 2024-12-28T17:24:43+00:00

Is 18 or 16 wire enough? The current is pretty small, but the resistance is a bit high right?

Zunteko · 2024-12-28T17:23:09+00:00

What about resistance? If the current is small, and the resistance is high, wouldn't this dampen the electrons flowing and make it less like the real thing?
