How to install the wolfbox mirror

[Jörk]

Hello
I like to install the wolfbox mirror and need some help.
Does someone knows about the free FC‘s from cockpit electrical center witch free one is permanent + and witch free one is ignition switched on +?

I think you will find quite some information in this thread:

Americas - Wolfbox is installed and it is very cool

I had my Wolfbox G850 installed today. It really solves all my problems with the rear visibility. I highly recommend it. I like it much better than I envisioned. It is wired up to the overhead console and the rear camera wires are in the rear door and take the same path as the rear window...

And if you want to know how I installed my "not-Wolfbox" mirror, here some explanation:

What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Hi Jean
Thank you very much.
That’s a great idea with internal.
Internals are on my Grenny wired and in use so I like to wire it to the Cockpit electrical center.

The clock is the only permanent, suggest the 12v socket for switched.

Finally finished installing my Wolfbox G850 today. Quite a bit of work involved. I managed to feed the video cable directly to the rear door from the overhead switch panel via the roof space and then out to the rear door via a piece of corrugated rubber tubing. I used one of the pre-existing rubber grommets in the barn door to feed the cable up and out to the camera all within the door frame itself. Luckily there is a hole within the upper part of the door frame right where the camera is mounted. I made a two part aluminium mounting plate for the mirror so I could mount it using the existing ball mount and one of the Amazon mounts. My mounting bracket drops the mirror down by about 15mm allowing enough clearance for the power, video and GPS cables. For power, I tapped into the driver’s side dashboard fuse box and routed the cable under the dash, up the A Pillar and across to the overhead switch panel within the roof space. I mounted the GPS Antenna within the roof space just to the side of the overhead switch panel. It’s about as factory as I could make it. Having seen a few other installs, I thought I’d put mine up as an alternative.

Looks real nice! Any link available for the Amazon mount you refer to? Still waiting on my Quartermaster to see if I need this mirror.

And I have purchased this replacement arm for the mirror unit that I might try if my install bracket results in too much vibration. Time will tell.
