Using AUX to power Wolfbox 930

[Jilbur83]

Hi all - forgive my lack of experience and knowledge. I am new to working on my JT and learning the ins and outs of it! Am about to install my Wolfbox camera and haven’t don’t something like this before. Wondering if I can tie it into the AUX power in the dash, but am uncertain if that will provide consistent power, or if there is a better power source to use?

so far it sounds like running it on the passenger side and through the cowel seems like the best wiring option. I have an RSI cap and think running it on the top rails would work - anyone running this camera with a topper?
Thanks in advance!

If you have the switches they can be programmed to be switched or constant but you also have dedicated constant and switched power independent of the 4 buttons in the same under dash harness. Those are what I used to power my dash cam. No need to go under hood. The 4 switches have wiring under dash and under hood. The extra wires are under dash only.

Your owners manual should have information like this:

How I did my G900
Ran mine under the cowl, pulled the window down and stuck the wires behind it. Ran them up under the trim and popped it out next to the rearview mirror.

Thanks for your reply! Am trying to sort this all out - do you happen to have pictures of your set up? Also curious about programming the switch to be constant, do you have more info on that?

To expand on what @Pliny posted, I wired my dash camera to my aux wire bundle under the glove box. You have both an ignition and battery wire there. Note that some vehicles have AUX 3 and the ignition wire color codings swapped.
