Add a Real Ignition Source to Your BYD - the DCG Way

Here's the catch with the entire BYD range: the interior fuse box is all constant power. There's no switched accessory (ACC) circuit to tap into - which is exactly what a dash cam needs to arm and disarm Parking Mode on its own. So we built our own fix.

This is our very own, custom-made Add-an-Ignition T-Harness - a plug-and-play Y-splitter that fits inline with an existing loom in your BYD that does switch with the ignition. It hands your dash cam (or a dedicated battery pack) a genuine accessory-on / accessory-off signal, so Parking Mode finally works the way it's meant to. No guesswork, no cutting, no splicing.

Trust the basics: Designed and custom-made for The Dash Cam Guys. Ships from Melbourne within 24 hours*. 12-month warranty. Local technical support. 30-Day No-Worries returns.

  • Helps unlock safe, automatic Parking Mode on your dash cam
  • Works with both dash cameras and dedicated dash cam battery packs
  • Custom-made for a clean, confident fit across the BYD range

Good to Know

Why a Switched Ignition Source Matters

Parking Mode is only useful if your dash cam knows when the car is actually parked. With a constant-power-only fuse box, the camera can't tell ignition-on from ignition-off - so Parking Mode either won't trigger properly or risks draining your battery. By giving the camera a true ACC signal, this harness lets it drop into Parking Mode properly the moment you shut the car down and walk away with the keys, then return to normal recording when you start up again.

How It Works

  • Locate the existing BYD loom that carries a switched (ignition) accessory feed.
  • Unplug it and connect the T-harness inline - factory plug on one side, your accessory feed passed straight through on the other.
  • Run the switched output to your dash cam hardwire kit or battery pack.
  • Set your camera to Parking Mode - it now arms on ignition-off and disarms on ignition-on, automatically.

FAQ

  • Q: What does this harness actually do? A: BYD interior fuse boxes are all constant power - there's no switched accessory (ignition) source to tap. This T-harness draws from an existing loom that does switch with ignition, giving your dash cam a true ACC signal so Parking Mode arms and disarms automatically.
  • Q: Which BYD models does it fit? A: Atto 1, Atto 2, Atto 3, Seal, Sealion 6, Sealion 7, Sealion 8, Shark 6 and Dolphin - all year models. The Sealion 5 is not supported at the front 12V, but you can connect this in the rear.
  • Q: Do I need to cut any wires? A: No. It's a plug-and-play inline T-harness (Y-splitter) that sits between existing connectors, so nothing is cut or spliced.
  • Q: Will it work with a battery pack? A: Yes - it works with both dash cameras and dedicated dash cam battery packs.
  • Q: Can someone install it for me? A: Absolutely. If you'd rather not DIY, we can point you to a professional installer.
