How exactly did you wire it? Do you have photos of kit and connections?

Jump on YT and search RAM 3500 dash cam install....I think the guys name is Beast or something like that....it's an easy install...get one of these adapters and run the hardwire kit along the roof to the passenger a pillar...down to back behind the glove box and then over to this harness....hook up the power and ground and put it all back together....I didnt wire up parking mode on mine so it just comes on when I start it and off when it's shutdown....if you want parking mode you'll have to source the 3rd wire and hook it up....
 
Jimmy07 has already posted here or in another thread, there is 12V power in the A-pillars. I think battery is on the left (connected to gate release if equipped), ignition on the right (connected to powered mirrors if equipped).
 
This is what I have on my truck. Now I need to find which connector and wire in a connector have battery power.

I found this connector and it was not connected to anything. I think red wire from this one is on when truck is on.

Which Dongar adapter did you use? I bought the "10-pin D for select Dodge/Ram vehicles" adapter to tap into the rear view mirror connectors. The connectors are too large to fit into connections at the rear view mirror.

Same thing I just discovered. I wonder if they changed the connectors on the 22 models.
 
Mine showed up today at my office.

Hey folks. Is there an easiy way to get ACC power in the cabin. I want to power a dash cam battery that will be under my seat or in the storage in between the seats. Anything under the steering column that can be easily tapped into? Thanks.
 
Is there a fuse panel inside the cab anywhere? Or is the only one in the engine bay?
 
I have a question. I have three wires coming out of dashcam harness: ACC, Battery and ground cable. Do I still have to connect my ACC even if battery and ground wires is already connected?

No you don’t.

It's been covered in a few posts. #7, #27/28.

ACC and BATT should both be connected. That's how the dashcam knows to run or go into park mode.

The cam or wired power kit should show different connections depending on what you're trying to do, but generally ACC is to an ignition source and BAT to constant 12V.
