Earlier, I asked how to connect the Mobius to the fuse box and I was given very helpful answers.
However, after thinking about it a little bit, I realized that connecting it to my car's ignition might be a better option-- namely, because the shop that I had install my reverse view mirror hooked it up to the ignition (so the screen pops up when the car is in reverse and only reverse). I figure that if they're able to install it to where the mirror would only work on reverse, that the Mobius could work if the car was in the "accessory" position or higher (essentially, as long as the key was turned on).
I was told to buy this when connecting to the fuse box, but what would I purchase to connect to the car's ignition (or is this not a good idea?)--would that cable also suffice?
My main concern with doing a permanent installation like this is that if the cables fail, I'll have no way of being able to rectify the situation myself. I will once again have to pay a shop to take it apart for me and install the new cables. The current setup I have has a USB cable running along the headliner up and around the passenger side of the car, but that seems impossible to actually keep in place hidden--the cable just keeps dropping out from the headliner!
