its D29 if anyone is looking at the wiring diagram. We have this same plug in our Australian delivered 86's. The connector needed is Aerpro AP1761, which i picked up online, but can apparently be had quite easily in local auto parts stores. It is sold as a 2 pack of iso harnesses, so I removed Battery, Accessory and Ground wires from teh 12 pin harness, and put them into the appropriate slots in the male option plug. Pin 1 is ground Pin 2 is Battery 12v Pin 6 is Accessory 12v. Currently my PMP is mounted behind the accessory light dimmer/boot release on the drivers side(RHD model) with the socket running to the glove box. I think I will leave the PMP where it is, and do a tidy little cable run under the steering column, simply for ease, and I can easily reach PMP where it is currently. looking forward to closing up my cabins fuse box again!! |

Has anyone had issues with the Power Magic? I've tried setting the cutoff to 11.8V and 12V; both settings leave my car without enough power to start.
edit: seems strange that the car wouldn't crank with 12 volts. While I was trying to get it to start I hit the 12v threshold since the camera announced it was shutting down as I tried to start the car. |

Stock battery dies very very fast. I just replaced mine with an Optima yellow top and in the morning my battery was 12.9v. My camera was in parking mode all night. With the stock battery my power magic pro would turn off my camera and my voltage would go below 12v.

Yep, stock battery. I guess I'll set a time limit for now and look into a different battery. Does anyone know if the FT-86 SpeedFactory lightweight battery would have better capacity / allow me to start the engine once its dropped to 12v?

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I have my PMP module set for 12 hours and 12v, and I shut off parking mode when I'm parked in my driveway or garage. I do wish there was more choice in the power setting.

Did you have any issues with removing the low profile mini from the fusebox? I try removing the fuse with hands and also a fuse remover but couldn't. How did you end up taking it out?

I used a screwdriver to lever it out.

Looking for some advice here. Tried TAIL lights (yellow wire) and P/Point1 (red wire) with the wires to the mini a fuse legs but it didn't power up...
I'm looking for another CONSTANT ON fuse with 10a to connect the yellow wire to. Other than the 7.5a STOP, what else can I use? ECU ACC #1 ? nvm: got it figured out! thanks OP for diy Last edited by illicitstylz; 04-18-2014 at 03:09 PM. |

On the option connector, D29, behind the head unit, there is batt and acc.
It's on an interior circuit on 20A I think. |

Installed my DR500GW today with the help of this guide, a few things to note that I did differently:
I got low profile mini add-a-fuse, with 5A fuses from here: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I0MWPXU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Amazon.com: FAST Shipping* ADD-A-CIRCUIT BLADE STYLE ATM APS ATT LOW PROFILE MINI FUSE HOLDER FUSE TAP + 5AMP FUSE: Car Electronics[/ame] And I tapped the LH heated seat circuit for the red (on when car is on) and the OBD circuit for the always on. I was able to seat the grounding wire/fork very deeply by bending the forks to increase the distance in between them. Thanks for the guide!!! |

I'm not sure that A pillar wiring is best practice as it's looped around the air bag.

It should be fine. There are already wires in the A pillar. Just secure the new wiring to the existing wires and it would not get caught if the airbag deploys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I wire the camera with the power magic pro how exactly do I connect the wires into the option connector to ensure a good connection? I found the wiring diagram but which pin location would which wire go into? I would really appreciate any help here as I really don't want to pay anyone to do this install and I would really like to keep all the wires hidden! Thanks! |
