I wired my dash cam (2014 RDX) yellow to 19 ACC and Red to 28 open slot with 10A fuse. Now I'm getting alert A2-1 airbag, 85 Elect Pwr Steer, 86 Vehicle Stab Assist. When I disconnect battery it goes away. When I reconnect the dashcam it appears again. What's wrong? Also noticed that the radio goes off when engine goes off and the door beeps when opened. That didn't happen before. Should I use open fuse slots for both?

first, what kind of dash cam are you using. secondly, what kind of wiring are you using?

I figured it out. Definitely need to wire to open circuits as my mistake before was to run one to the ACC port #19. That's what triggered the warnings to check air bags, etc. The computer doesn't like that.

I ran the yellow wire to the open "always on" port #37 with a 7.5A fuse. Ran the red wire to the "hot on start" port 28 with a 7.5A fuse. There is a convenient
ground bolt next to the fuse box under the dash. Disconnected the battery for a reset and we're all good now.

The unit is a Blacksys CH-100B. The images are good and everything seems to be functioning properly. My only concern is that the unit seems to get pretty warm when it's on. I looked for a unit that was rated for better performance in heat (SE Texas) so I guess if it already runs hot it should be Ok in the parked car in the summer. Time will tell if the parked monitoring drains the battery as I've heard is a problem on BMW. I did not install the Cellink backup battery. The unit has settings to turn it off if the battery voltage goes below a certain level and it just depends on how aggressive you want to be about keeping it on when it's parked. The more you set it protect the battery, the sooner the unit will turn itself off.

The phone app to control and monitor the unit as usual these days wants to know your life story, friends, contacts, read your emails and texts. I hate that BS and I think once I have it setup and working I'll delete the app. There's no excuse for a Korean dash cam maker to need that data to make the app work but I suppose you will get that from all invaders of privacy these days!

I think you have the wiring backwards. The red is suppose to be on "always on" and the yellow is suppose to be "hot on start". Red is always constant power while yellow is always switch or turn on power or signal sensing. Also I believe the correct fuse or slot you should tap into is fuse #13 which is ACC for the cigarette lighter on the driver side and for the passenger side it is fuse #15.
