Don't you have a mini USB port on the blackvue? The invisicord plugs right into that, and the rear of the mirror has exposed ports the pins push into.

Blackvue needs 12v but in that case a regular mirror tap will work. The one you mentioned (Invisicord) is designed for 5v models.

Invisicord has straight 12v as well. I just linked to the USB 5v model.

Just make sure you get the "mini" mirror taps.

Issue fixed with the Thinkware F750 not working in Parking Mode or Motion Detection. Followed the instructions from one of the USA sub forums, turned out the wiring was incorrect.
Using the hardwire kit, Yellow cable to fuse 23 & Red cable to fuse 2. All working correctly now.

Thanks for the feedback. I have the power magic module with my blackvue dashcam and was wondering where to plug the cables.

Did you use fuse taps ? Or how did you connect the cables to the fuse box ?

I have fuse taps but they need small modification as they don't quite fit, I also don't have any micro mm2 fuses to protect them so at the minute the cables are wrapped round the fuse leg. I will sort that out though

I already ordered this: http://m.ebay.com/itm/131334769028?_mwBanner=1

They are currently at my Stackry account waiting for other stuff. They come with a 5amp fuse, can I use this fuse for the dashcam or is the amp to high ?

You need a 7.5a & 10a fuse

Not if the dashcam use 5v or you'll fry it.

I ended up using a mirror tap. In order to get 5v, i broke apart a small usb charger, and soldered the ends to it. Then ran a short usb cable back to dash cam. Much easier to just run it that way imo.
