Wiring assistance needed V70-XC70 2012

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob on  Sat Jul 31 16:20 CST 2021 [RELATED]

Looking for some wiring assistance on the following items below:

Looking to add into the car 1 Tekonsha Brake Controller Unit, w/hardwire kit
Looking to add into the car 1 Valentine 1 Gen 2 Radar unit w/hidden display & hardwire kit
Looking to add into the car 1 SureCall Fusion2Go 3.0 Fleet Unit, w/hardwire kit
Looking to add into the car 1 Thinkware Front/Rear Dash Cam unit, w/hardwire kit
Looking to add into the car 1 Blackvue Battery Pack B*124x unit, w/hardwire kit

All the above items will be hardwired into the vehicle.

The Thinkware Dash Cam unit will be direct wired to the Blackvue Battery Pack.
The Thinkware Dash Cam unit will be running off of the Blackvue Battery Pack when the Vehicle is shut down. It will be triggered on by motion or by the vehicle getting hit.

So looking to see what fuse panels I should be connecting to and looking to see that none of the items will drain the car battery. So they will only come on when the car is started.
The Blackvue Battery pack will be in the back of the vehicle behind the second row seats probably in the area before the spare tire area. I was also looking at putting the SureCall Amp unit there as well.

Let me know what you think and how I should go about having a fun day wiring the car away.

Thanks.

    I don't know about the other items, but if your car doesn't already have a connector for the brake controller, you might want to consider a Tekonsha Prodigy RF unit. It plugs into your cigarette lighter and communicates with the controller mounted on the trailer using some sort of inertial guidance system to regulate the trailer brakes. That's what we use and it works well.
