Safety Dave - Car Wiring Harness Loom {Old 8 - Pin style}

The Safety Dave 8‑Pin Powerloom is a key electrical harness that supplies power, video, and audio between older Safety Dave rear‑vision cameras and monitors.

It is used only for non‑AHD (standard definition) monitor systems and typically installed under the dash.

• Powerloom refers to the 8‑pin harness assembly (a connector + integrated wiring) that supplies power, video, and audio signals between a Safety Dave monitor and camera system .

• This 8‑pin version is used in older standard‑definition Safety Dave monitors (legacy models prior to AHD systems introduced around January 2023). Newer AHD models use 9‑pin or 12‑pin powerlooms instead .

• The powerloom is typically installed under the dash or kick panel, near the ignition/accessory switch, and it provides connection and routing for the entire system .

• Standalone 8‑Pin Powerloom: Just the main connector harness; sold as a replacement for older Safety Dave monitors

1. 8‑Pin Configuration: Carries power, video, and ground connections plus control signals between monitor and camera.

2. Camouflage & Sheathing: The wires are grouped into a loom protected with PVC/braided sheath to guard against abrasion, heat, and moisture.

3. Vehicle Integration: Designed to tie into ignition/accessory circuits under the dash for power control.

4. Accessory Functionality: Supports connecting a standard‑definition reversing camera (often with power, video feed, audio feed if supported) through the connector.

5. Durability: Designed for use in caravans, trailers, 4×4s and off‑road vehicles; robust and weather‑resistant materials .

6. Plug & Play: Compatible with the older Safety Dave monitor systems — easy swap if your original powerloom is missing or damaged.

While exact wiring may vary by model, the harness generally includes:

• 12 V Ignition/Accessory Power

• Constant 12 V (Battery Feed)

• Ground (Chassis)

• Video Signal (to monitor)

• Optional Audio Feed

• Possibly power‑antenna or trigger circuits, depending on camera system variant.
