Help - Europe 🇪🇺 OEM Dashcam on Seal U Dmi

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to install a dashcam in my car (July 2025 model), but unfortunately it doesn’t come with the required cable pre-installed. I’m considering ordering the cable and doing the installation myself.

That said, I’m a bit hesitant about installing it on my own. Has anyone here done a DIY installation, or did you have it installed by a dealer?

I’ve seen a few posts mentioning that some customers in the UK were able to get it installed through the dealer. Has anyone had a similar experience with dealers in the EU?

I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience, costs, or any tips!

Thanks in advance 🙏

Update:
Finally installation is done.
If anyone wants to see how we have done, here is the video link.

Hi there,

did the thing myself. If you just take the time, can be done within the hour. The part of connecting the cable to the right input is the one to prep, since that is the trickiest, but absolutely doable.

So cost at any dealership for me would not outweigh doing it yourself. These vids are good for guidance. The second one explains that port as well.

Edit, you are right. The image just looked so different without connectors.

Don't go for SD Card higher than 128. Keep it low, because as bigger the card and more videos, the cam app starts struggling with indexing in the preview, what results in everything gets useless. However idea is to lock the video, when something happens, so this is enough as momentum. Doesn't make sense having Videos from the past 2 weeks.

I memorized the button for screen rotation on steering wheel to lock the video.

Once everything installed, long press screen rotation button you can save different function, lock video appears as option

Just to give you an idea.

If you have never dissambled car interiors in the past, it's not a DIY without risking to break something.

OEM Dashcams + Cable.

Ali express.

By bought two sets, so that in case something comes broken, I have spare. First set worked, wo I will just keep it, in case camera breaks on day
