I have an Infiniti M37. I was reading on the Infiniti car forum about someone that wired their radar detector directly to the rear view mirror power. Under the mirror cover there is a 12V (always hot), a 12V (hot with Key On) and a Ground wire.
If I can wire the Dash cam the same way, this would save a lot of work and look cleaner - if it can be done.
I have not purchased a Dash Cam yet. I see some of the model are 12V and some are 5V. It also looks like some models get power through a USB connection (is this correct)?
If I buy a Dash Cam that has a 12v feed (rather than the 5v models) would I be able to wire it directly to the mirror power supply? Ideally it would have a 3-wire pigtail (12V, 12V key-On, Grd.) and not some type of cable with a large choke, or something that could not be cut to about 10 inches long.
