Plug the wire harness into the Power Magic Pro. To ensure good electrical contact you can use electrical tape to tape the plug and socket together. Plug your dashcam's power plug into the cigarette lighter socket on the wire harness. Secure the ground wire to the bare metal frame (for example by securing it under the bolt).
such as a bolt, that is directly on a bare metal part of the vehicle's frame. Connect the black GND wire to a ground point.Reinsert the fuse back into the fuse panel. Remove the sleeve from the end of the yellow BATT(+) wire, and wrap the wire around one of the blades of the Constant Power fuse. Remove the identified Constant Power fuse.If your car has a "Battery Saver Function" please utilize the hazard light fuse. Typical Constant Power fused are the hard light (emergency lamp), tail lights, and interior light fuses. Identify a Constant Power (battery power) fuse in your fuse panel.Connect the yellow BATT(+) wire to a Constant Power fuse.Remove the sleeve from the end of the red ACC(+) wire, and wrap the wire around one of the blades of the Switched fuse.Many cars come with a fuse puller tool in the engine compartment fuse panel. Typical examples are the cigarette lighter and car stereo fuse slots.

Referring to your vehicle Owner's Manual / Handbook, identify a Switched (accessory power) fuse in your interior fuse panel. Connect the red ACC(+) wire to a Switched fuse. Refer to the Cut-off Voltage Settings below and set the switches according to your requirements. Drawing that much power from your car's battery while ignition is off will wear your battery much faster, so it is definitely not recommended. First, if the B-112 or B-130X was not fully charged while turning ignition off, it would draw about 10 times more power than your dashcam does, meaning it would drain the car's battery about 10 times faster. Even if the PMP could sustain the amperage required by the B-112 or B-130X, it would likely not give you a lot more Parking Mode time in most cases. That means either Power Magic battery would blow the Power Magic Pro's fuse while charging or would take forever to charge. Meanwhile, both the Ultra Battery (in cigarette lighter mode) and Battery Pack draw more than the Power Magic Pro's max rated current (5A and 3.5A respectively). The Power Magic Pro is rated for a 1A output (Max 2A) as it is designed to power your dashcam (less than 0.4A draw). That way, you would get longer Parking Mode time by combining power from both the car's battery and the B-112/B-130X.Īlthough this could seem like a good idea, it does not work. The reasoning is usually that the PMP would feed power to the dashcam via the B-112 or B-130X, then when the vehicle's battery reaches the voltage cutoff value, the PMP would stop drawing power from the car's battery, letting the B-112/B-130X take over. One of the most common questions we get is "Can I connect a Power Magic Ultra Battery (B-130X) or Battery Pack (B-112) to a Power Magic Pro (PMP)?" Please avoid combining Power Magic accessories. However, if your car features some inconspicuous cigarette lighter power socket, the B-112 can be both handy and stealthy. The Power Magic Battery Pack is harder to hide since it requires to be connected to a cigarette lighter socket.Īlso, if you want to use the USB ports of the B-112, you will likely have to keep it somewhere in sight.
The Power Magic Ultra Battery, in spite of its larger size, can be stealthily installed as well, as it is able to connect to the fuse box (recommended installation) and tucked under the driver's or passenger's seat or glove box.

If you want to maintain access to it (to reach the Parking Mode switch), you can install somewhere out of sight under the steering wheel.
PMP is easy to hide as you can usually put it in the fuse box.
Power Magic Pro is a small accessory that allows for a stealthy installation in the majority of cases, although it will vary with each car configuration. The Harwiring Cable is a simple 3-wire (Battery, Accessory, Ground) harness so it is definitely the easiest to hide for a clean-looking installation.
