Frequently Asked Questions - CADR1030 KENWOOD

How to install the CADR1030 wiring kit in my car?

Installation is done in two steps: first, connect the fuse tap cable to the vehicle's fuse box by removing an original fuse (climate control, engine, or constant power) and inserting the cable with the provided 2A fuse. Then, connect the power cable to the camera (Mini USB connector) and route it along the trim to the fuse box, fixing the negative wire to a bare metal ground. Then plug the positive cylindrical connector of the power cable into that of the fuse tap cable.

Can I use this kit with any dash camera?

The kit is designed for cameras compatible with 5V power via Mini USB connector. Check that your camera has a Mini USB input and accepts 5V/2A. It is not suitable for cameras using other types of connectors or voltages.

What is the parking surveillance function and how does it work?

Parking surveillance allows the camera to continue operating even when the engine is off, using direct power from the battery via the kit. It can last up to 24 hours, but actual duration depends on the vehicle's battery condition and the camera's power consumption.

How to prevent my car battery from draining due to this kit?

To avoid excessive discharge, it is recommended to drive regularly or run the engine to recharge the battery. If you do not use the car for more than 2 days, turn off the camera. This kit is not designed for prolonged use without battery recharging.

What to do if my battery drains despite precautions?

If the battery drains, you need to charge it with an external charger or restart the engine to recharge it. Also check that the camera is off during long periods of inactivity. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for battery discharge.

How to securely fasten the cable in the cabin to avoid obstruction?

Use a trim removal tool to tuck the cable under the headliner and along the A-pillar. Secure visible sections with adhesive tape or cable ties. Make sure the cable does not hang and does not interfere with driving.

What type of fuse should I use with this kit?

The kit is supplied with three types of 2A fuses: ATO, ATM and Micro2. Choose the one that matches your fuse box. There is also a 2A fuse built into the fuse tap itself - do not remove it.

Does the kit work equally well on 12V and 24V?

Yes, the built-in regulator accepts an input of 12 to 24 Vdc and converts it to 5 Vdc for the camera. It is therefore compatible with most cars, trucks and other vehicles.

How to reduce radio interference (parasites) on the camera?

The kit includes a ferrite core (item #9) to attach around the power cable about 13-20 cm from the camera. This suppresses radio interference. Simply attach it by wrapping the cable around the core.

Where is the fuse box of my vehicle located for installation?

The fuse box is usually located under the driver's steering wheel or under the engine hood. Consult your vehicle's manual for the exact location. There may be multiple fuse boxes.

Precautions for Use

• This product imposes a load on your vehicle's battery due to continuously using your vehicle's power supply. The battery is charged while you are driving. If you do not drive your vehicle for a long period of time, or if you repeatedly drive short distances, the voltage of its battery will gradually decrease due to the energy consumption of on-board devices. To prevent the battery from dying, be sure to turn on your vehicle's engine frequently so that the voltage does not drop.
• If you do not use the product for more than 2 days, turn off your dashboard camera.
• Do not use this product with any devices other than those intended for it.
• Our company bears no responsibility if your vehicle's battery dies, so make sure that you understand these precautions before use.

Precautions for Installation

• Refer to "Installation" on this manual to install correctly.

- Fix the cord in place with tape or the like so that it does not interfere with driving.

About the Product

By connecting this product to a compatible dashboard camera, you can supply power to it, even when the engine is off, and extend the parked monitoring time up to a maximum of 24 hours (depending on the condition of your vehicle's battery and the operating environment, the parked monitoring time may change).

1.5V Mini USB connector
2. 12-24Vdc to 5Vdc regulator.
3. Negative (-) spade connector.
4. Positive (+) car power cable bullet connector.

2. The socket for 2 Amp fuse tap cable.
3. The socket for the original fuse.
4. Positive (+) fuse tap cable bullet connector.
5. Ferrite Core

Step 1: Connect the Fuse Tap Cable to the fuse box.

1.1 Find your vehicle's fuse box. Typically it locates under the driver steering wheel or underneath your engine hood. Please refer your vehicle manual.

1.2 Remove an original fuse associated with your vehicle's ignition ACC/Switched or Permanent power supply. We recommend that the maximum rating of the fuse is no more than 20 Amps. Please refer your vehicle manual.

1.3 There is a 2 Amp fuse (Item 5) built in the socket for 2 Amp fuse tap cable (Item 6) which protects the dash cam. Please do not remove or change it.

1.4 Choose the correct fuse tap cable from the three supplied types. Plug in the original fuse to the socket for the original fuse (Item 7). Plug in the Fuse Tap Cable to the socket where the original fuse was removed from the fuse box on Step 1.2.

Step 2: Car Power Cable Installation

2.1 Mount the dash cam behind the rearview mirror and connect the 5V Mini USB connector (Item 1) to the dash cam.

2.2 Beginning with the dash cam end, tuck the car power cable into the headliner and hide the power cable along the A-pillar to the rubber trim by using a pry/trim removal tool to loosen any trim. Make sure there is still enough cable for dash cam connections.

2.3 Keep lining the cable to the fuse box. Once you have the cable to the fuse box, look for the ground around the area of the fuse box. We recommend you ground the negative(-) spade connector (Item 3) to a bolt on unpainted bare metal. Next, plug in the positive(+) car power bullet connector (Item 4) to the positive(+) fuse tap cable bullet connector (Item 8), and it will enable the dash cam to receive power. Organize any excess cable by using a cable clip to a convenient position.

2.4 If required, we've included a Ferrite Core(Item 9) along with the Hardwire Kit. This can be used to suppress any radio electronic interference. Loop it around the Power Cable about 5-8 inches from the dash cam for best result.
