BlackVue DashCam Installation
Heading out on a roadtrip and thinking of installing BlackVue DR970X front and rear cameras. Mine is a 2011 Z4 35i ...
1. Is it ok to install the cameras on frame of wind deflector ? 2. In the fuse box, is there any slot to which I can connect BlackVue Power Magic Ultra Battery to charge it while driving ? |

I've got Blackvue cameras in all my cars including my Z4. I initially had the rear camera on the wind deflector but I recently got a piece of clear plastic that I custom cut to fit inside the driver's side roll hoop so it's not just stuck out in the open looking ugly. (I'll get a pic shortly and edit it in to this reply)
As for the fuse; I can't remember the exact ones I tapped into with the add-a-fuse but I just checked with a test light for one that was only on when the ignition was on, and one that stayed on even after the car went to sleep. That was for a Power Magic Pro though, I think you'll just need to find one that's on with ignition only which makes it much simpler.

No change to the wind noise from that little piece since the seatback already blocks the airflow there pretty well but the clear plastic wind deflector I have that goes between the roll hoops made a massive difference in noise and turbulence. The one I got is discontinued but this one is the closest to that design: https://www.pippenswinddeflectors.co...ind-deflector/ The stick on mounts on the side look sketchy at first glance but mine held on just fine even at ~140mph when I decided to do one track day session with the top down. |
