If you’re new to Wolfbox or just looking for the best way to install your dash cam, we’ve got you covered! Here are the three most popular methods to get your Wolfbox dash cam up and running. Each has its pros and cons, so you can choose the one that fits your needs best.

Rubber Strap Installation
This is the simplest and quickest way to set up your dash cam. Using the rubber straps included in your package, you can secure the dash cam directly onto your car’s original rearview mirror. It’s straightforward and requires no extra tools, making it perfect for beginners. However, some users find this method a bit bulky, as the dash cam sits on top of the original mirror, adding some extra thickness.

OEM Bracket Installation
For those who prefer a sleeker and more integrated look, the OEM bracket is the way to go. This option requires purchasing the Wolfbox OEM bracket separately. You’ll need to remove your car’s original rearview mirror and its supporting bracket, then replace it with the Wolfbox bracket. While it’s slightly more time-consuming to set up, the end result is worth the effort. The dash cam will look like it was part of your car’s original design!

This method is different from the traditional dash cam placement. Instead of attaching the dash cam to the upper windshield area, you can mount it on your car’s dashboard using a dedicated stand. This gives you more flexibility in positioning and keeps the windshield clear, but it may take some time to adjust the angle for the best recording view. If you want a distinctive setup or have a unique windshield design, this could be the option for you.

good to know about the first way to attach. i thought you had to always use a replacement mirror bracket or mount to the dash. i never knew you could just mount it directly to the mirror with easy to use straps.

i would like to try one of yall's cameras but figuring out how to power it and all that seems like its tougher. i would want a plug and play installation that turns on and off with the key and doesn't require the memory card to be cleared or reset all the time (the only dash cam i ever had, back in the day, required the card to be cleared all the time, which was a huge pain)

We have OBD2 kit (buy additionally) and cig lighter to power the dash cam. If you choose the former, the parking mode and the battery protection can be enabled. If you choose cig lighter, make sure the socket stops powering once the truck is off, or it will drain the battery.

You don't need to take the card out and clear it manually. Our dash cam has loop recording, which means the older clips will be overwritten by the new clips.

This is a Ranger forum, do you have a video of the OEM bracket install for the Ranger?
