i'm trying to get to the fuse-box under the glove compartment,
but having a moment removing the panel entirely so i can gain access.

there are two plastic turn-to-release bolts which are easy.

then there is a wire-harness for a little light on the underside of the panel.

i was able to detach the harness itself using a paper-clip to push in the little tab to pull out the harness.

now the wire itself is attached to the panel with another attachment clip and i can't figure out how to detach it from the panel to remove the panel completely.

anyone get through this step that can share some detail?

You don’t get parking mode with the OEM cam

Copy. I barely knew anything about what was available for the car on 8/14. I just took delivery on 10/19, and I asked the Genius a lot of questions, and he cleared a bunch of things up, for me. Thank you.

Bringing this back for an update. If you want to remote in your Blackvue dashcam DR900X you can buy the LTE module CM100LTE and Battery Pack 124X. It allows you to watch your dashcam from anywhere and get notifications on impact or motion detected. You need a data plan for the LTE module and you get 5GB of storage uploaded to the cloud. Triggered events are uploaded in real-time to the Blackvue cloud.

I don't believe that the LTE module works with Verizon. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks. That page is for the DR750-2CH-LTE which appears to be difference from the CM100LTE.

They should be the same. The DR750 LTE has the module built-in. You need a Nano SIM to get service. Best to confirm with Blackvue or dascamstore for Verizon compatibility. I just saw an Amazon review saying it did not work but that was from Nov 2020

I'll report back what I learn. Appreciate you.

VZW is in the process of transitioning from CDMA (3G) to LTE so compatibility maybe different.

The DR750X-LTE page says the following:

Carrier support: US: AT&T, T-Mobile; Canada: Rogers, Telus

CM100LTE page says:

US: AT&T, T-Mobile; Canada: Rogers, Telus. Preferred for most of South America except Brazil.

Shouldn't that transition be pretty much completed for all intents and purposes? Honestly, IDK. What about the car hotspot? I know we only get a 3mth trial, but wonder what those plans cost after that. Might be worth investigating.

That's locked to ATT. I think it was $15/month for unlimited.
Put your VIN in here : https://www.att.com/plans/in-car-wifi/

My car doesnt have wifi hotspot.

EDIT: I went ahead and ordered the battery pack B-124X to do the trunk install. Appreciate the help on the routing.

Thanks. It looks like pic 3 is behind the rear seats and pic 2 is the passenger side of the trunk. Where are you putting the battery?

I'll find a way to Velcro it to the inside of the panel where that passenger rear fuse panel is. Just wanna get everything hidden. All except for the plug of course.
