Dash Cam Guys Essential Install Kit – Fuse Tap Kit & Tools

Everything for a DIY Hardwire in One Box. Fuse taps, tester and trim tool, so nothing stops you halfway

You are ready to hardwire the dash cam and enable parking mode. Then you discover the tap does not fit your fuse box, you cannot tell which fuse is switched, and the only thing to hand for the A-pillar trim is a screwdriver. The Dash Cam Guys Essential Install Kit puts every one of those pieces in a single box, so the job takes an hour instead of a weekend and two trips to the shops.

What is in it: add-a-circuit fuse taps in four blade sizes, a 6-24V circuit tester, a trim removal tool, fuse pullers for the factory fuses, spare 3A fuses to suit every blade size in the kit, cable ties and placement decals.

The trim tool is the piece people forget. A metal screwdriver marks the plastics, dents the panel edge and can push a clip clean through the trim. The nylon tool spreads the load and pops the clips properly, which is the difference between an install that looks factory and one that obviously is not.

Trusted in Australia: Ships from Melbourne within 24 hours^*, 12-month warranty, local technical support and 30-Day No-Worries returns. Browse more Installation Tools or pair it with a hardwire kit.

Who This Isn't For: This kit assumes you are comfortable opening a fuse box and pulling a trim panel. If automotive wiring is not your thing, or your state requires accreditation to modify a vehicle, ask us instead and we will point you at a trusted installer near you. There is no shame in it and a professional two-channel fit typically runs $150 to $270.

DCG Score & Highlights

What We Love

• Covers the four blade sizes found in the overwhelming majority of Australian vehicles
• Add-a-fuse design keeps the factory circuit protected and the whole install reversible
• Includes the circuit tester and trim tool that most people only realise they need mid-job
• Fuse pullers and spare 3A fuses for every blade size, so you are not improvising with pliers
• Cheaper than buying the tester, taps and trim tool separately

What Could Be Better

• No Micro3 fuse tap, so some late-model vehicles need an extra adapter
• Does not include the camera-specific 3-wire hardwire cable, which is sold separately

Why Clean Hardwiring Matters

A proper hardwire avoids messy splices, stops rattles behind the trim, and keeps factory circuits protected by their original fuses. It also makes future troubleshooting simple, because everything is reversible and nothing is buried inside a cut loom.

Top Benefits

• One box, no second trip: Taps, tester, trim tool, pullers and fuses all together.
• OEM-safe install: Add-a-fuse taps preserve the original circuit while adding a new fused branch.
• Broad fuse coverage: ATO, Mini, Micro2 and Low-Profile Mini suit most Australian fuse boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Do I still need a hardwire kit? Yes. This bundle is the taps and tools. Pair it with a 3-wire hardwire kit that matches your camera's power connector to enable parking mode.
• Q: Can I use this with a dedicated battery pack? Yes. Check the fuse rating matches what the battery pack asks for.
• Q: Will it fit my car? If your fuse box uses ATO, Mini, Low Profile Mini or Micro2 blades, you are set. Send us a photo of the fuse box if you are unsure.
• Q: Is this safer than splicing wires? Yes. Add-a-fuse taps retain the original circuit's fuse and add a separate fused branch, and the whole thing is reversible.
• Q: What fuse should I use for the dash cam? 3A to 5A. Spare 3A fuses are included for every blade size in the kit.
