Hardest part was removing the panels without breaking any clips, and routing the camera wire through the factory wire loom into the hatch. Ill have details in the write up.
Ill keep everyone posted on the battery but with the Power Magic Battery I don't see why there would be any issues.

My wife and I purchased a Blackvue DR900s-2CH for both of our cars. Was wondering if anyone has found a good place for power yet? I saw one video on youtube where they went to the back of the fuse box, and carguy11 used a battery pack. Anyone else done the install with any dash cam?

I will make a how to when I get to installing them.

they have a option to power your cam via the OBD port using this kit

Doesn’t work for BMWs if you want to use parking mode. If you only want to have your camera in when the car is on then I guess that would work.

no it still gives out power with the car off but it will kill your battery and give you a warning message about low battery or replace battery.

'When vehicle’s ignition is off, Power Magic EZ checks your vehicle’s battery voltage periodically while powering your BlackVue.
If power drops below the set cut-off level, Power Magic EZ automatically cuts power to the dashcam, thus saving your vehicle’s battery life.'

Did you se the info on the sites showing the adjustability of the thing, different voltage cut of levels, and timer settings.

Yep that doesn't work either, I have 2 of them sitting right next to me because I tried it first before spending the extra money on a battery pack.

Because the BMW electrical system doesn't like anything to draw power from it.

I just installed the Blackvue 2-ch. I used the ez power module without any problems. It made for a very quick and easy install.

Let us know when you need to replace your battery. Had to on my other BMW.
