Additional circuitry may need to be purchased

If the fuses were available in different sizes this would be a 5 star product for the price. However, I had to purchase some extra circuitry and cut the included non-removable fuses to make this kit work.

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Unnecessary features

Always says Install smart hardware after installation

I bought the product to use parking mode without a camera. After installing it still says it needs to install smart hardware. After further research, I found out that this is a common problem.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Weight

Instructions suck/don't like

I have a DVR hooked up to my 2018 Civic Si. I followed another brand's instructions on YouTube. Installation is similar but you need to find the right fuse and by the way the fuses don't match. I think it was like 15? Compared to some YouTube videos on installing various cameras, this is built. somehow doubtful. It's pretty flimsy, but it works. I've been connected for about 3 months with no issues but the lack of instructions sucks, also I can't get certain functions to work on the dashcam…

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Something else

Not working properly

I connected this, red to fusible, yellow to hot. Install camera displays harness for programming. The kit is installed but does not work properly. I tried connecting red to the fuse block only, nothing. Connect the red to the fuse and the yellow to the hot, it turned on but off with the key. The gravity sensor cannot be programmed. The camera doesn't wake up. It's not a very good connection at all. Probably just had to buy without the yellow wire. Or place the cigarette lighter under the…

  • cool product
Cons
  • not sure

Instead, change the one that came with the dashcam.

Anything you don't like here. First, the factory rexing v1 12v cigarette cable is a proper 90 degree mini USB. This "smart wiring kit" is a much bulkier direct mini USB. My solution? Cut 90% of the cordset and plug it into the correct 90 degree factory miniusb connector. Second problem: non-interchangeable fuses of the same size? Tap the size backup or try another "DVR Gear Kit". This purchase wastes your time getting the wrong wiring (red/yellow), the wrong fuse for your car and at best it…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Expensive

Hardwiring is the way to go.

So I only installed it for a week. Whether it moves from four stars to five depends on how well it handles the battery drain issue. If it powers the park monitor without draining my battery too much, I'll bump it up to five. Otherwise it seems to be well made. It gets three stars for ease of installation, simply because a wired connection is more difficult than simply plugging in a cigarette lighter adapter. But it has nothing to do with the kit. There are two problems that I think the…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Doesn't work in all cars

Maybe give it a real star rating because I have a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan in my car, no fuse box, there is only one under the hood and no 15 amp fuse that I have can actually find In fact I even checked 20 amps, it should be for the permanent cigarette lighter I have. I have one next to it that only lights up when the ignition is on, the one to the right of it is always on even when my car is off, so the cigarette lighter version for the camera works there, but will probably drain my battery…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Unreliable

Decent power connector for DVR

I used the Rexing Smart Hardwire Kit for the power connector to install my Rexing V3 and recommend it as it is by far the cleanest option. The cable can easily be routed under the front edge of the headliner to the side A-pillar of the vehicle and then inside the A-pillar to the dashboard and fuse box. The included plastic tool helps create enough clearance to insert the cable. My car had fuse boxes on both sides of the dashboard. On most vehicles, the fuse box is on the driver's side. The only

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Interval

Difficult to install but not essential

This kit allows you to take advantage of the Rexing V3's advanced parking features, save your car battery and not waste too much storage space if your car won't turn off the outlet when it's off. Installation is easier than other kits I've seen as it's designed to connect to the fuse panel, but it's only easy or practical if you happen to have the exact car. There are just a lot of design decisions that could be made better and I'll try to talk about them. The "fuse plugs" used to connect to…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
