@ChiefG

Go to his website, linked earlier in the thread. He's a busy guy, so give him a few days to respond.

After installing a backup cam and aftermarket GPS/sound/touchscreen system, installing the dash cam and power magic unit was a piece of cake.

Thanks for info

If you ever need to remove something, like the BlackVue cam mount, that is mounted with 3M or any other type of double-sticky mounting tape, get some dental floss and wrap it under your mounted device. Use a sawing motion to cut through the sticky tape, then remove what's left with a solvent like Goo-Gone.

does the Canadian BRZ have this factory option connector ?

thanks

@ChiefG Have you had any issues with your battery getting too low to start? I've seen another thread here that despite the Power Magic Pro, our batteries may not have enough juice after being run down to start.

I have my Power Magic Pro set for 6 hours and 12v, and I turn it off when parked at home, so I haven't let it run long enough for that to happen.

I can only guess that it does. You'll have to pull the radio to find out - which is easy. Just pry off the bezel and undo 4 10mm bolts.
