Did the same !Don't forget it needs a 5v ignition feed. I wired mine directly into the back of the fag socket on my 110 using a dash cam transformer to drop it from 12v to 5v. Soon as I start the car the dash cam turns on and records.
It will depend on what power leads come with the dash cam. Mine came with a cigarette lighter connector. My cigarette lighter was broke and I didn't want external wires anyway.Don't forget it needs a 5v ignition feed.

So that's like a small thing that plugs into a fuse socket and enables the original fuse to be plugged into it - and would work exactly like the original fuse - but also has a connector so that you can take addition supplies from it?I used a connector that plugs into the fuse box in the cab direct, and holds the necessary fuse this replaces. I think from memory it was the lighter fuse. Then ran the wires up the pillar as mentioned above. Does the trick, wires all hidden and turns on and off on ignition.

That sounds good - so you don't have to break in/damage any existing wiring. You would still need to find an earth though.
Do you have any links for for what you used?
Thanks for that, looks like the unit i'm going for comes with an 8 foot hard wire and cigaret lighter connection.
Most helpful info, many thanks
I cannot see any problem with that provided you used a good connector.On the note of he 5v. I have run the wire down the pillar, can the wire be split and joined again to increase length?
Bet that sickened the scumbag! Well donei have one front and back I keep meaning to hard wire them although the back one does come on when I power up and I would not be with out them I was the first in Staffordshire to secure a conviction through a dash cam when a bloke scratched my car and that was down to it having a good battery in and carry on filming
all because he had a argument with his wife and he had never been in trouble with the police before they said and I said well he has probably never got caught before and left his car parked in front of mine with the number plate showing.Bet that sickened the scumbag! Well done
