I went with this for my A118. Should work on the G1W as well.

That is the same one I use with my G1W-C, except I bought from DX and it came with a connector on the ground wire. I like that it has a 3A fuse inline and IIRC the USB cable is 6.5 ft long and the power/ground wires are 3 ft long.
 
Alright appreciate it. I bought two from ebay from the first link.

One for my wifes car, and one for mine. If I don't hard wire it, she'll never remember to turn it on and off getting into/outof the car.
 
Some cigarette lighter - to - mini-USB interfere with FM (noticably for Garmin traffic information that comes on a subcarrier.) Any idea whether this 12v wire to mini-USB leaks interference?

The eBay link suggests it could be wired to Batt or Ign. My G1W-C drains my car's battery overnight (when plugged in through the cigarette lighter, which is always on.) I can't vouch for the health of my car battery, and my typical commute is short, but on cold mornings (< +10F) I need a boost if I left the dashcam on, and I don't if I don't. So before I wire this device to Batt, any sense if that's a defect in my dashcam, or if that's typical of what it draws?
 
I use the one I linked to above and have no issues with FM interference.

I wired mine to a switched fuse in the fusebox. Find a circuit that only turns on with the ignition. You may want to use an add a circuit with it. (Make sure you get the correct one for your vehicle.)
