Error Codes after Dashcam Install
 
I just installed new GKU D600Pro in the wife's 2013 RDX AWD w/ GKU USB-C Hardwire Kit. The Hardwire Kit has a Yellow (B+), Red (ACC), and Black Ground Wire. Hardwire Kit is required if Parking Mode is intended to be used. The GKU wire harness has Integrated 10Amp Mini Fuses Molded on the Yellow and Red Leads, for plug and play installation. However, the fuses are sealed/molded into the plug and are not replaceable. If one blows at some point, will likely have to cut the end off and use a Add-A-Fuse. In the Interior Fuse Panel, there are several UNUSED panel slots (1, 16, 17, 18, 25, 28, 37). Using a circuit tester, I Isolated which ones are Switched (ACC) power when the car is on and which ones were Constant 12V Power when vehicle is off. Connected the Yellow Wire Mini Fused Plug to Constant 12V and the Red Wire Mini Fused Plug into Switched (ACC) UNSUED PANEL slots.

When I started up the car, the OBD threw several Error/Fault codes, from Check Airbag System, Check Power Steering System, AVS, Hill Assist, etc. Appears the onboard computer is VERY SENSITIVE to any variations in voltages or by completing the circuit of an open panel slot that is not intended to be closed (hence, the absence of a fuse in that slot? If I recall, I initially used #25 & #28. If I removed the GKU Fused Plugs from the Fuse Panel, errors went away. Put them back in, errors came back. Tried a few other open panel slots (paying attention to Switched and Constant power on each). Continued to get errors. Ended up using a Add-a-Fuse adaptor and placing the GKU Fused Plug ONLY in the top slot of the adaptor (to feed appropriate power to the Dashcam) and left the bottom fuse slot of the adaptor open/blank, so it did not complete the circuit of whatever is downline on that circuit on the Fuse Panel. This seemed to resolve the issue and the errors went away as long as I didn't close the circuit (with a fuse) on the Open Fuse Panel Slots.

Anyone have any experience such as this?
