How to Hardwire a Dash Cam in a 2026 Honda Civic 11th Gen without Blocking Airbags

I show how I hardwire a dash cam in the 11th generation (2026) Honda Civic Hybrid. While many tutorials show how to tuck wires into the A-pillar, most of them incorrectly cross over the side curtain airbags, which can be a major safety hazard. I’ll take you through the entire process from start to finish including unboxing the Blackvue Elite 10, testing on the bench, and finding the exact fuse taps for constant and switched power. This video for entertainment purposes only :) Fuse Details for 11th Gen Civic: Switched (ACC): Fuse 45 Constant (Battery): Fuse 19 (FYI: my 19 circuit was not in use so I only put 1 fuse into the tap, the side of the tap that goes to the dash cam.) Ground: Specific screw location near the footwell. M6x1.0 bolt!
