👀 let me know if you made some headway here, I'm on the same boat as you. Had my SL 7 for about 6 months now

There is a nz sealion 7 group on Facebook and there is a discussion on there and someone has fitted one. From memory the cable is already fitted. There is a video on there or YouTube of someone installing a camera.

As far as I was aware, the NZ spec is the same as Aus spec. On our SL7, the memory car slot is missing from the module between the USB ports. I think the software would also need to be side loaded to support the dashcam.

If I were you I’d save the trouble and get a Viofo camera instead. It won’t be integrated with the rest of the car, but if you need it the picture quality will be MUCH better and it will include sound. The oem camera is great for showing exactly what you were doing with the brakes, accelerator etc, but the quality is garbage, particularly at night, and it doesn’t record sound.

I've actually recently installed the OEM dashcam in my sealion 7 here in NZ. The cable for the dash cam was already there in my case. All I needed to do is just to purchase the OEM online and install it. There should be black tape around the cable for the dashcam. After installing the dashcam just restart the infotainment and the DVR app should just appear in the apps tab. You would need a micro SD card to USB c converter to save the videos.
Heads up your vehicle does need to be on the latest software and make sure when purchasing the OEM dashcam online the model number HAS to be HC-3776940M or else the DVR app would not appear even if you're on the latest software.
Hope this helps :)

I have the Seal, not the Sealion, but I understand it's a similar situation, where this used to work but changed sometime in 2025. When did you purchase your car?

Good to know, I already have a viofo dashcam I removed from my previous car. I was intending to get a oem one but like OP I don't have the wiring.
Is there a way to power it from your rear view mirror? I did this on my ioniq 5, worked well

Yes I installed it in mine. The cable is on the car but wrapped up in black tape.
You just need the camera and a usb-c stick, don’t get the package that includes the replacement usb module with the sd card slot as that doesn’t work 100% of time (e.g camera just shows black sometimes and won’t record, and needs a reboot to resolve it). The usbc stick will record fine and be cheaper and means you need to take less apart.

That sounds promising! When you say the cable was there do you mean you popped off the plastic suround with the round hole for the dash can, there was wiring behind it? And then were able to store DVR videos using the usb-c port under the centre console, hence the need for usb-c to SD card adapter?

Yes, when you pop off the black plastic cover you should be able to see black tape around the cable with a white plug. Take off the table and the cable should be free. Then simply plug in the cable restart the infotainment and the DVR app should appear.

I purchased the OEM dashcam off Topbyd if you were wondering where I got it from. Took around 2 weeks to arrive.

Hmmm, only picked oursbup on 5 January this year. Might see if I can prise the plastic cover off and check that I can see the wire that is taped up.
