Hi everyone, been a while for me since I've lurked here on the forums but I'm back again with a new vehicle and new install. Your thoughts and feedback please on what I have done.
Vehicle is a Kia Cerato sedan and I have wired up the front dashcam as a Viofo A119, running through a ZMI QB823 powerbank. I've taken the front pillar trim off and run the miniUSB cable so that it is neatly hidden, but due to the curved shape of the bottom of the centre console, I can't stick the powerbank on there. Therefore the powerbank is resting under the far edge of the front passenger footwell carpet, as shown in the photo below (have stuck it on with 3M Command strips). Of course, whoever is riding in the front with me has to be careful so that they do not step on it, whenever they sit inside the car. Not the most practical idea, but I'm out of ideas where to mount it, as I want the powerbank to avoid the hot Australian summer heat.
As it is a 20,000maH powerbank and charges in about three hours using 45W charging, I'm thinking of getting a 45W car charger and running it through using pass-through charging, so that I never have to take the powerbank off to charge it inside the house.
