I just bought the WolfBox G900Pro and the power source is a cigarette lighter. I'd like to wire in the right footwell similar to your set up. Should I cut the cigarette lighter and hard wire?

Nope

Yes, I think you can do that.

The cigarette plug is a 12v to USB-C 5v adaptor. If you cut the plug off and wire the cable directly to 12v you'll likely damage the mirror which operates on 5v not 12v. Someone else on the forum did exactly that.
Your choices are either buy the Wolfbox hardwire kit, or buy a cigarette socket from any auto parts outlet and wire that to a 12v supply at the cabin fuse box or via INT1 or INT2. Then plug the provided Wolfbox cigarette plug into the socket.

The hardwire kit is the neatest solution and also provides battery low voltage protection (at 11.6v) if you enable the parking camera option.

Thanks for correcting me! I wasn't 100% sure. I went with the hardwire kit, so I didn't go down the route of snipping off the cigarette lighter plug. @bodhizaffa dont listen to me!

One of my first mod's was the Wolfbox 900 Pro. I have to say I am happy with the product. It certainly does more than I need but the rearv view is clear and gives a view I needed since we don't have BSM. Very Happy.

The hardwire is totally worth the money. I really like the power voltage sensing to help preserve battery if it runs low.

 

[bodhizaffa]

Awesome. Thank you and thank you amazon - hardwire kit being delivered this afternoon.

 

[bodhizaffa]

Sorry, one more question. Just want to triple confirm. ACC goes to purple and white, B+ goes to black?

 

[bodhizaffa]

But you don't need B+ connected if you don't activate the parking camera option?

 

[parb]

You want both wired. Not a big deal and I really like the extra functionality.
B+ goes to the battery.
Acc goes to power that turns on with the ignition.
This way the screen turns off when you turn off the key but the bump sensor will record with the screen off if someone hits your car when parked. Great function!

I extended the wires and pulled them all the way to the fuse box under the rear seat where I found 2 great wires, one that was always powered on and one that went on with the ignition.

On the rear camera you have a red wire, if you connect that wire to your reverse lights then the mirror will change the camera angle so it points more down when you reverse. Totally worth doing.

Trying here. Anybody considered Rydeen Tombo 360? Looks to have ability to add blind spot detection.

Wondering if you ever found out any info on the rydeen? I saw one for the first time at the dealeship and it looked ok. Like the idea of the 360 cam but two things concern me.

1. I already bought the wolfbox (lol)
2. is this some no name camera that is a unicorn, seems like everyone is going for wolfbox and I assume most of you guys are alot smarter then me when it comes to these things. You feedback would be greatly appreciated
