Dash Cam Power Tap-In Loom for BMW Mini R56

Power Tap-in Loom for Overhead Console
for BMW Mini Cooper R56 (2007-14)

This listing is for a power tap-in loom for the BMW Mini R56.

This custom made loom simply plugs into the front overhead console and gives you 2 power take off wires that you can use to install an accessory of your choice, dashcam etc:

1. Positive 12 volts (Red wire) - this is like an ignition live, it becomes live when the vehicle is unlocked and stays live for a minute or 2 after locking
2. Earth (Black wire)

The beauty of this is there is absolutely no cutting/splicing needed to your vehicles wiring.

We also sell this loom with either a USB A or USB C pre-wired - see our other items.

This does not come with a fuse - we recommend that you fit a 2 Amp fuse in the positive wire to protect your car from any fault in item your are connecting to this loom.

This loom is ideal to wire in a dash-cam as it puts power to where you'll mount the camera without having to route any long wires round the screen (plus you'd still need to find somewhere to take power from).

Some dash-cams come with a cigarette lighter power loom which are just unsightly and also runs the risk of having it unplugged.

This is NOT  a genuine BMW Mini item.

Fitting details

IMPORTANT:

• Ensure you wire your accessory to the loom before fitting to the vehicle (to prevent accidental shorting when fitting).
• Disconnect your battery -ve lead before fitting the loom to the vehicle - this makes it less likely for power surges that could damage car circuits when plugging / unplugging the overhead console.
• Ensure there is fuse protection in any circuit you add to the loom - we suggest a 2 Amp fuse.
• The power output from this loom is 12v many dashcams use 5V USB power source - ensure you are connecting a device / circuit to this loom that uses 12v input (eg a 12v to 5V USB converter).
• Some badly designed electronic devices could produce power spikes and electrical interference that could damage circuits on the car or produce radio interference - we are not able to test all devices so cannot accept any responsibility for any damage from using this loom on your car but please report any issues us so we can investigate and warn others.
• If you have any issues with your car that needs investigation it is best to disconnect this loom so the vehicle is returned to its original configuration.
• Some devices like dashcams can cause interference with DAB radio reception and rain sensor circuits - be sure to these these after adding your device.
