Super easy install. Consists of the 4k 2ch setup along with the parking mode battery pack.

Hardwired into the rear fuse panel. Fuse 273 is the perfect accessory fuse to tap into. And a simple ground near the main battery.

Looking good.

Can the battery be charged when the car is powered off? In other words, does it have a connection to an always on fuse?

You definitely could. The instructions say to connect to a switched fuse so as not to deplete the car battery.

The battery was at 0% when I fired it up, and it charged very quickly so I'm not sure it would be necessary if you drive daily.

Added. Verizon MiFi. Works amazing!

Powered by the USB port on the Blackvue battery.

Update. I wasn't happy with the batteries taking up the space on the right. So I have adjusted.

That's a neat install.
Did you drill into the rear deck, or are you using pre-existing bolts/locations?
Curious how you managed to fasten those units underneath.

Just drilled a couple 1/8th inch holes and used some nylon strap to secure them with the velcro between to ensure no rattling.

Just wanted things out of the way and if anything spilled in the trunk they wouldn't be impacted.

That's a great way to utilize trunk space.
Those little cubbies could come handy for small items or groceries.
Under the rear deck, not so much. Makes sense to make use of that solid mounting space!

A bit lost if someone could kindly assist. I'm running the wire through the top pillars but I'm having trouble once I'm getting towards the trunk. Where do I continue the wire to hide it? Also I'm using the battery pack to get power from which I'll leave in the little side compartment but the wires are seen. Please take a look at the pictures I attached.

I think others routed the cables/wires behind the trunk liners and directly towards the cubby.
It's a bit tedious removing the liners but not difficult at all.
