    Dashcam power from mirror

    Has anyone got any useful thoughts about using the power supply from the rear view mirror for a dashcam?

    I wired mine under the head lining down the front passenger A post to the cigarette lighter socket in the glove box , absolutely no problem. It also meant I didn’t have to tap into the vehicle wiring 👍

    Fusebox under glovebox, fuse 51 is a switched live. Earth can be on the metal subframe. Pop off dash end cap, run the cable up the side of the A pillar under the black trim then under headlining at the front to the cam. Pop on the end of the dash, close the glove box, A 10 min job max.

    Remember if you are getting piggyback fuses, they are the Micro 2 fuses.

    Can you get into the glove box by popping off the dash end cap ?

    Yes! Just pull it off, you can't damage then it just pops back on.
