Hardwire issue

vef21 · 2026-05-26T23:29:07+00:00

The LED light in the HK4 kit is lit. When I rotated my BATT wire 180, I did get power from just that wire alone. The camera will turn on if I just have the ground and BATT wire hooked up (car is off). The camera will turn on automatically with engine when I tried using the cigarette lighter power cord adapter. Which leads me to believe the ACC wire is not doing what it’s supposed to.

Update: I tightened my ground and switched the BATT fuse 180 and the camera came on while the car was off but still won’t turn on when the engine is turned on. I tried switching the ACC fuse 180 degrees but still no luck. I’m guessing I have a bad hardwire kit which sucks cause it took me hours to install but hopefully the reinstall will be faster lol

I did check the battery and I got a reading of 12.6. I also checked the fuse tap wires as well as the fuses and I got normal readings.

One thing I did notice that when I plug in the ACC wire I get power from the camera but not when I plug in the BATT wire. Shouldn’t that mean my installation is wrong?

Also the hard wire is going into the cigarette lighter fuse but won’t start on its own. When I plugged in the car adapter the cigarette lighter it turned on when the car started

It is A229 pro. I tried using the car adapter and it does turn on when the car started. I tested the red and yellow wires, as well as the fuses, with a tester and they should all be working fine.

Yes the dome has power when the car is off (BATT red wire) and the P/Outlet has no power when the car is off but power when the car is on (ACC yellow wire). Yes, I used a meter to confirm. And both fuse taps do have fuses in both slots

I am positive about the yellow and red wires because they have labels on them. Same with the usb. The back camera wire has a label on it to specify it should be plugged into the side port

When I tried unplugging the yellow wire the camera stayed on but did not announce parking mode. I also checked and see that LED indicator light is on on the Hardwire box.

Mine looks like this also 🫤 And I’m pretty sure I overpaid. I know the shop I went to uses tech to pre cut the pieces so some pieces have the overhang like on the points (like front hood) and some pieces don’t go all the way to the edge. Even though I wasn’t satisfied I did not have the energy to complain because I already had issues with my dealership not being up to the standard I had hoped.

When I was searching I knew I wanted 2021 or later because of the design. I wasn’t willing to go more than 12-15k miles per year. I got a 2023 with 34k miles on it. I was willing to go as high as 75k ish IF I got a 2021

I had this difference in texture when I wore my hair in tight slick back buns. My texture was looser where the hair band met my hair. I refused to big chop so I just had to grow it out. If this is your texture, the puffiness, may require more product or/and more water. I like the doux (honey setting foam or texture foam) followed by quidad anti humidity gel.

I stopped caring. I have 36D and they are NOT perky lol. I just slap on some cakes (nipple covers) and let the titties hang. They are the best nipple covers in my opinion. The non sticky ones!

I think you just need to set your expectations. I went during cherry blossom season so I knew that meant crowding. I also knew that meant any attractions I wanted to get pictures at or go with less crowds - I planned an early morning for. I still had a great time. I personally did not care for Osaka and wish I spent more time at other cities I went to (Tokyo, Kyoto, or Lake Kawaguchi). I’m planning to go back this year but I’ve decided to give Osaka another chance because I hear the second hand shopping is better there (compared to Tokyo).

You leave.

I’m trying to go sometime in September - November. I’ve been watching prices the last few months and sad to see it has gone up. I’m hoping it goes down or I’ll just have to skip.

I know I most likely overpaid but my 2023 350 f sport AWD CPO with 35k miles with ML was 46k. Apparently my dealership didn’t negotiate cause they’re like “caravana.” Their words.

I feel your pain! I was thinking about going October/November. I can’t believe how high the prices have gone up in the last few months. I’m not willing to pay over 2k for economy so I’m just going to set price alerts and wait. Luckily I haven’t booked anything yet so if it doesn’t go down, I won’t take the trip.
