Constant hot and ACC fuses for parking mode on Rove R3 Dash Cam on 2023 Tundra

It took a good bit of reading and trial and error to come up with what fuses I needed to tap in to when installing a Rove R3 dash cam with parking mode enabled using the optional hardwire kit sold my Rove, so I am creating this thread for a one stop shopping experience to make this easier for the next guy.

The fuse box utilized for this project on my 2023 Tundra SR5 TRD-Off Road is the fuse box below the passenger side dash.

There are two fuses that must be tapped in to. One being constant on power and the other ACC. Below is a diagram of the fuse box (Fuse box 3 location 3). The exact fuses are circled in blue and noted whether it is constant on or ACC. Concerning which wire goes where in the Rove dash cam hardwire kit, the red wire is constant power, the yellow wire is ACC.

Another problem I encountered was that I could not get the camera to recognize the hardwire kit when trying to turn on parking mode. There are two USB Input/output ports on the Rove R3. For the hardwire kit to work, you MUST use the USB C port on the back of the camera and NOT the port located on top of the camera. Try turning on parking mode with the truck started and doors closed. If that doesn't work, try it with ACC power on in the vehicle, and again with all doors and tailgate closed.

Hopefully this will help someone avoid the headache I had.

 

Thanks For The Good Information. I Have A VIOFO A229 Pro To Install. I'll Be Using Two BlackVue Batteries To Help For Parking Mode And Not Run The Truck Battery Down Any. Those Batteries Will Recharge When I'm Driving. I Have To Hardwire Mine Also For Park Mode To Work. I Ordered The Newest DONGAR Install Kit That Taps Into The Mirror, They Claim Park Mode Will Work, It Doesn't On A VIOFO. That Is On My 2024 Limited TRD Off Road.

 

I did the SAME THING! The Dongar does supply power to the camera, and that is how I used it for about two years. So it's not just the Viofo camera. It ie also the Rove R3. It was a clean and relatively inexpensive way to power the camera, but the Dongar does NOT work with parking mode. Now you don't have to feel so bad.

 

Which model Dongar kit did you purchase that doesn’t work with parking mode?
