Acura Integra Type S 2026 dash camera and battery pack
This Acura Integra Type S received a clean, no-fuss front/rear dash camera setup plus an iRoad Power Pack Max 8 to handle parking power without touching the factory battery. The goal was simple: high-quality recording, fully hidden wiring, and zero interference with the car’s interior or operation.
What was installed
- Vueroid S1 4K front camera mounted discreetly near the passenger-side of the rearview mirror.
- 2K rear camera mounted on the hatch and routed through the factory grommet.
- iRoad Power Pack Max 8 — 8,000 mAh external battery pack hidden under the front seat and hardwired via fuse taps.
- Fuse taps used for ignition and constant power, keeping the install clean and reliable.
Front camera placement: out of the way, still effective
The front camera sits on the passenger side, slightly off to the side of the rearview mirror. This placement keeps the camera out of the driver’s sightlines while preserving a wide, unobstructed field of view for recording.
Rear camera: mounted on the hatch and routed through factory openings
The rear 2K camera is installed on the hatch and routed through the factory grommet. Using the existing grommet keeps the wiring completely hidden and prevents drilling or cutting into trim pieces.
Power Pack Max 8: hidden under the seat without blocking vents
The iRoad Power Pack Max 8 (8,000 mAh) was mounted under the rear seat and wired to charge while the car is running. The pack is positioned so it does not obstruct the rear heater vents or the seat bracket, and it stays out of sight while still fully accessible if maintenance is required.
Moving the seat forward confirms there is no interference with the bracket or airflow. The battery pack remains secure and safely tucked away.
Fuse taps and wiring approach
Two hardwire-a-dash-cam" target="_blank">fuse taps were used: one for ignition power and one for constant power to provide charging and parking-mode power to the Power Pack Max 8. The fuse box had plenty of spare fuse slots, making this a neat and non-invasive hardwire solution.
Why use an external battery pack?
An external battery pack is a practical solution for dash cam parking mode:
- Protects the factory battery — cameras draw power from the pack when the vehicle is off, avoiding drain on the car battery.
- Reliable parking mode — motion and impact recording continue after engine shutdown.
- Easy installation — charges while driving and isolates dash cam load from the vehicle’s electrical system.
- Clean setup — can be hidden under the seat without obstructing vents or components.
Installation checklist and tips
- Choose a front camera position that avoids distracting the driver while preserving the camera’s field of view.
- Use factory grommets to route rear wiring for a clean, OEM look.
- Confirm under-seat space and vent clearance before mounting the battery pack.
- Use fuse taps for ignition and constant circuits; verify fuse box layout and available slots first.
- Test seat movement and vent operation after placement to ensure nothing is obstructed.
- Verify the pack charges while driving and that the camera draws from the pack when the vehicle is off.
Final notes
This setup gives high-resolution front and rear recording with reliable parking protection while keeping the install discreet and non-intrusive. The combination of a Void S1 front camera, a 2K rear camera, and the iRoad Power Pack Max 8 is a solid choice for anyone who wants continuous protection without risking the factory battery.
