Hi guys. I'm looking to install a dash cam at the top of my windscreen and was wanting to minimise any cords being exposed.
I was wondering if anyone has found any power source from the roof? I pulled out my sunglasses holder on the weekend under the assumption I'd be able to find a live 12v power source and that I'd wire up the dash cam charger with a dedicated fuse.
When I removed the sunglasses holder, I used a mulimeter to try pick up 12v from the interior lights cable, but from the plug that was available, I was only picking up 0.01v so i believe that is a trigger wire (as they are linked with the rear interior lights). - I'll post pics if anyone needs me to show this
Not sure if I'm making any sense right now but would be keen if anyone has tried something similar.
