We’ve just had the opportunity to add another new and fresh model to the list. In this blog, we will show you how to install a two-channel dash cam in this electrifying vehicle model, the 2023 BMW iX. This vehicle is rather unique, so we’ll be doing some special processes for it, which will apply to many other BMWs. This includes addressing delayed ACC fuses, odd fusebox locations, a tight frame, and metal hatchback connectors. Check out our dedicated page here for general advice on wiring into BMWs.
For this premium vehicle, we are installing a suitable sleek and high-end model to match—the BlackVue DR970X Plus 2-CH. This unit excels at matching the sleek and professional look of the BMW iX while offering top-tier 4 K footage through its Sony STARVIS 2. Despite the BMW iX’s pre-existing built-in camera, it’s no surprise they’re opting for a dedicated dash cam, ensuring much higher quality protection, more features, and coverage when the vehicle is off through the PowerCell 8 Battery Pack.
To make this process simpler and more convenient, we’d also recommend the BlackboxMyCar Essential Installation Kit, as it’ll contain all the necessary tools you need if you’re installing a dash cam yourself for the first time. Every package includes a BlackboxMyCar Circuit Tester, a Trim Removal Tool, Zip Ties, a Microfibre Towel for wiping the windshield before mounting, and something new – our exclusive BlackboxMyCar Decals! Just something to remind other drivers that this vehicle is protected!
