I actually solved the problem. Check out my post right above yours.
Not sure about the JB4, but leaving my OBDLink CX plugged in before locking the door does set off the car alarm if I have an active app connection. Bimmerlink is always the culprit for me cos I forget to disconnect my iphone, and the CX Bluetooth range is too damn good.
Thanks for the write up. Just did mine, works perfectly.Step 20: Mounting the front camera. I placed mine directly under the mirror so the camera lens was in the center of the car. Be sure to clean the inside of your window with alcohol to ensure good adhesion. Now is a good time to install the SD card into the camera so you don't forget.
Step 21: Camera Power Wire: Take the wire you started to route in step 15 and continue to follow the factory harness forward to the B pillar area on the passenger side. You want it to go under the cross bar. Do not go up to the headliner area yet.
Step 22: Take the lose end of the camera power cable and plug it into the camera. Be sure to straighten out any kinks in the wire before you do this. Then route the wire behind the mirror mount cover, then under the edge of the headliner all the way to the A pillar. There is enough of a gap to get it in there using the plastic pry tool gently.
Step 23: Route the power wire under the edge of the A pillar and headliner, then under the door seal down the edge of the headliner all the way back to the B pillar. This can also be done using the plastic pry tool gently.
Step 24: If you routed the power wire correctly you will now have all your excess by the B pillar and cross bar. I coiled mine up and zip tied it then stuck it where the insulation is at. You cannot cut this wire, if you do it voids the warranty on the BlackVue Camera.
Step 25: Rear Camera Wire: Plug in the supplied rear camera cable into the camera using the 90 deg end. Once again route the wire around the mirror mount cover but this time to the drivers side. Power and signal should not be ran on the same side of the car. If you do there is a high change you will get interference and might have issues with the rear camera.
Step 25: When you get to the B pillar area, you will need to remove the same small panel on the drivers side as you did in step 3 to get the wire through.
Step 26: There is 1 T30 screw on each side of the headliner brackets. Remove these, they were very tight and put in with loctite so be careful not to strip them. Bolts already removed in the photos.
Step 27: Carefully use the plastic pry tool to pop out the 2 clips holding up the back of the headliner. This will drop it down just enough without having to remove it all the way.
Step 28: I routed through the factory hatch harness bundle. If you don't want to do that you don't have to but here is how I did it. Unhook the center clip on the rubber tubing, then remove the rubber boots from the hatch side and roof side.
Step 29: Route your wire under the headliner and out the hole where the roof side boot was removed.
Step 30: Use a coat hanger straightened out, spray it with some kind of lube and work it through the rubber tube from hatch side to roof side. I then used electrical tape to attach the end of the wire to the hanger and pulled the wire back through. Don't forget the lube or its never going to go through. I used white lithium spray. If all went as planed your wire will be here now.
Step 31: Remove this plug (pops right out) and this cover under the third brake light (pry up at the window edge, there is 2 pop clips then slide it out of the hooks on the bottom).
Step 32: Route the wire from the hatch rubber boot hole to the hole where you removed the circle cap. I was able to fish it through without the coat hanger.
Step 33: Back to the coat hanger to make it the last length. Same as before, slide it from the third brake light area till it comes out the hole from step 32. Attach your wire with electrical tape, then slowly pull it through. It was a tight fit for the connector when first going in so i used the plastic pry tool to lift the cover enough to get it through.
Step 34: Figure out where you want to mount your camera. I mounted mine to the bottom of the third brake light. You can also mount it on the window. Be sure to clean the area before mounting. Once mounted in the desired location finish routing the wire to the camera. I used one of the clips the came in the camera kit to secure the line as well.
Step 35: Once your camera is mounted pull any extra wire back through to the headliner area. Here you can wrap it up and zip tie it together. Place it under the headliner and pop the 2 rear clips back into place.
Step 36: Start putting everything back together. Be sure to turn the switch on the Power Magic Battery to Hard Wire setting. Start the car and let it idle while you put the plastics back in the charge up your Power Magic Battery.
Follow the setup guide for the BlackVue App and Battery App. Login instructions for your camera are inside the box.
Hope this helps everyone. If there are any questions please ask and enjoy.
Can you link the setup that you purchased? I'm looking to get a setup for myself~
My husband did the write-up, he's been my personal auto electrician for 10 years, haha.
Shit my bad, I thought the guy above my post replied to me~ but it's actually OP!!
