Thread starter jrumball Start date Sep 9, I bought the Audi version of a dashcam as I wanted one that integrated with the car nicely and it seemed to have a reasonable specification.
I bought it from the offer through the forum and it came with the correct loom for an A3. I hope this helps with the UTR specific elements of a dashcam install. F A3 specific wiring harness 4G0. It took me a lot longer as I started to follow the Audi instructions to the letter, and realised that this would involve dismantling half the car which i was not prepared to do.
I also got stuck trying to repin the fuse box as I could not find any info for how to release one of the pins! Overall nothing is complicated it may just take a long time to remove some of the trim carefully, it is a moderately difficult job overall.
Audi specifies that you remove a large amount of trim to route the rear camera cable. I chose an easier route that still avoided all the airbags, interestingly this seems to be the route that was taken by the company that retrofitted my side assist! The green line in the photos is the route There was enough length on all the cables to take this route. I have an A3 8v FL e-tron so some things may differ I won't go into massive detail in removing all the trim, most of it is self explanatory.
Disconnect battery this will vary depending on model mine is in the boot under the floor. Remove front facing camera trim. Remove sun visor and sun visor clip 4.
Remove trim from the side of the dash, remove trim from the side of the dash below the A pillar trim. Remove A pillar trim behind the airbag logo there is 1 T25 screw.
The trim will then pull upwards and away from the dash. Be careful of the speaker cable. Remove the bottom B pillar trim, it unclips at the bottom to get the seat belt trough. Remove the bottom A pillar trim.
Unclip the bottom of the bench seat, and remove the plastic rivet holding the trim below the seat. My car being an e-tron is very different in the boot as the traction battery is under the rear seats and the petrol tank moves to where the spare wheel would be.
I had to remove sound insulation at this point to route the cable up through the D-pillar. Pry away but do not remove the D-pillar trim to assist with routing the cable. Pull out the cable gland that goes between the boot and boot lid. Remove the top boot trim.
Install the anti glare stickers , this is covered in the PDF manual clearly. Be aware when printing the templates that the scale must print out equal to 10cm!!!
Be sure to clean the window to help with the adhesion. It helps greatly to have someone help measure the centre and positions and eye up your positioning. Very lightly apply one corner of the sticker and you can readjust it if it is not perfectly straight. When you are happy with the position remove all the air from behind the sticker with a soft cloth.
Install the front camera base and the rear camera onto the antiglare stickers, again a second person helps to align the cameras. Create the wiring loom. I cable tied the foam to the first connector. Route the cable starting at the front camera tuck it into the headlining and follow the cable route, being careful not run in in front of the airbag, cable tie it too the existing loom, and run it down into the foot well, leave the red and green wires and ground here.
The easiest way to get the cable through the cable gland is to tape it to a long blunt thin object i used my universal screwdriver, this can then be forced through the gland easily. Run the cable along the top edge of the boot lid to the rear camera. At this point there is a decision to make on wether to use the Audi loom as intended by repining the fusebox, this wasted nearly 3 hrs for me as I could not get the pins out!
Or you can use fuse taps and butcher the Audi loom. I chose to use the nice Audi loom If you use to use fuse taps you can cut the y-chord and attach the fuse tap and route it through to the fusebox First remove the MIB 2 with the stereo keys.
Remove all the plugs on the back. The large one hinges from the bottom and most of the smaller ones have a little clip to move so they will release.
They are all colour coded and keyed so you don't need to worry about where they go. Make sure you have disconnected the battery! There is a red clip at the bottom of the fuse box I believe this isolates it too.
Unclip the fuse carrier, there are 3 clips. Pull the fuse box as far forward as it will go being careful of the loom. I chose to use position F34 and F4 as the were easier to unpin. To unpin F34 or F35 first remove the fuse then purple locking bar. This gave me a lot of trouble at first I could only move it about 1mm, but i couldn't remove the pins.
