I lived in Mexico for almost a year in the early 90s, and traveled a bit in south America....seen some crazy things there, and the dolly under the axle fits right in. I used to get the creepy crawlies seeing cars and trucks tipped up and balanced on offside wheels, propped up with 2x4s, pallets, old logs...and guy would be sitting or laying underneath working on it, welding, cutting, wrenching....that is the poor man's 'lift' down there. Saw it a lot. Scary stuff. Seeing vehicles with four mismatched tires (as in tire size) was common, I saw one where they didn't have the right wheel for the bolt pattern so they just drilled holes to fit.....wheel was so off center on hub, as it drove it was an elliptical pattern! Rear corner was going up and down 3" every wheel rotation, and this was at highway speed! Wish I'd had a dash cam for that one.

Hi, Ken

I purchased the same setup that you have, Thinkware 750 (front and back) and the only hard-wiring kit that was offered by Thnkware (Dashcam Hardwiring Cable). The end of the cable is wrong and the box says compatible with every Thinkware model except 750 - how did you hardwire yours or did you get a different cable?

Thanks,
Deb

P.S. Two days after installing on windshield, BAM! rock cracks windshield!!!

It's a different camera. Some have a micro usb some have a micro coax. Just have to match the end

Yep - they must have put the wrong one in the box - the picture on the box shows the connector we need - the cable in the box hasn't got that connector.

Thanks for the reply,
Deb
