Great kit. Allowed me to hardwire my SpyTec G1W-C dash cam into my 2014 Camaro. Wire was way longer than needed. I was able to route it from the driver's side dash fuse panel through the A-pillar across the top of the windshield down to my camera. The only wire showing is about 4 inches coming from the headliner down to the camera at the top of my windshield.
My only complaint is that when I ordered the kit, there wasn't an option for micro or mini USB. If there was, I missed it, but I looked over the listing thoroughly to ensure it would fit, and from reading the reviews, many people said it's listed as micro, but they ship mini which is what I needed. I received a micro kit, and upon calling SpyTec, got a return authorization. I mailed the kit back to them on a Monday, and it took 17 days for SpyTec to acknowledge they received the old one and send out the new one. I received the new one quickly, and also noticed that after I ordered mine, an option for micro or mini was added.
Other than that, great kit, serves its purpose, and installs nicely with plenty of wiring for my application.

Must-Have Accessory for Dash Cams
The Dash Cam Hardwire Kit with Mini USB is a must-have accessory if you’re using a dash camera in your car or truck. It connects the camera directly to the fuse box under the dashboard for continuous power from the vehicle’s battery. Your dash camera will always be powered, providing a watchful eye over your vehicle when you’ve left it unattended with the ignition turned off. For 24-hour surveillance, hardwiring can’t be beat.
Frees Up Cigarette Lighter for Other Uses
Your dash cam will no longer monopolize the cigarette lighter for power. That frees up the lighter, also known as the 12-volt power socket, for charging all your mobile gear, especially your phone, tablet, GPS device or music player. Alternatively, if you happen to be a smoker, you won’t necessarily have to dislodge a plug from the socket or search for a lighter or matches just to light up.
Cleaner-Looking Install
Unlike a dash camera with a dangling power cable that meanders around the front interior of your vehicle until it reaches the cigarette lighter, a hard-wired dash cam connects directly to the fuse box. People getting in and out of the vehicle are less likely to snag an arm or leg on a loose cable Also, with the wire hidden, people will be less aware that a camera is even installed.
Buy with Confidence
The Dash Cam Hardwire Kit with Mini USB is backed by SpyTec, your trusted partner since 2004 for the best and most reasonably-priced dash cams, hidden cameras and surveillance gear on the planet. With tens of thousands of satisfied customers and climbing, SpyTec regularly earns high ratings for excellence. The company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee and 30-day, hassle-free return policy on anything it sells, including its Dash Cam Hardwire Kits. It will even pay for return shipping on products sold through Amazon. Simply put: SpyTec is dedicated to making sure you’re a happy customer!

Nice little wiring kit
So this is fairly straight-forward. It's a wiring kit with a 3-amp inline fuse. It takes in 12-24 volts in, and uses a small block to step the voltage down to 5V DC at 1.5Amps. Basically this means you can wire it into your car's electrical circuit at one end, and the other end will be a male mini-USB plug that you can use for most dash cams and GPS units.Works as desired for my dash cam. I wanted my G1W-C to turn on and start recording any time the vehicle was set to "ignition". I figured an "add-a circuit" fuse tap would work well, so I purchased one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QRSBW0I plugged the fuse tap into a fuse in my glove compartment fuse box that would be "hot" ONLY when the keys are in the ignition. In my case, I tapped into the Manual Transmission Clutch Interlock Bypass in my Jeep, but you could tap into any fuse that is hot when on. Trial and error will work just fine if you don't know the intricacies of your vehicle's electrical circuit. Just keep tapping fuses until you find one that turns the camera on when you turn the key. Since I used a fuse tap, it already has a spot for a fuse, so I cut out the in-line fuse that came with this wiring kit. There is no need to have two fuses, and I like the ATC fuses better than the old style "cartridge" that this kit comes with, and because the rest of my car uses them.The ground cable is your standard C-style terminal. You could just use a self-tapping screw and screw it into the body of your car, just make sure you know what you are screwing into. You could also probably find something else nearby to piggyback a ground off of. It's a good idea to chose a ground that is free of paint and bare metal. Use a small piece of sandpaper to clean up a spot, and clean it with a bit of acetone or rubbing alcohol or piss.I've had way too many USB wires and connectors go bad on me, so I also tightly wrapped the last 2" of the USB connector with electrical tape. This will help keep the wire from pulling out of the connector body after a few hundred cycles of plugging it in and out.The USB cable is quite long, so you can zip-tie or velcro the box under the dash and snake the cable up to wherever you need to go. It will not reach across a car from front to rear, so if you are setting up a rear camera you may want to consider buying some extra 16-gauge wire to make it reach.After receiving it, I thought it was a little overpriced, but it was a kit that already had everything I needed sans solder and electrical tape, so I was willing to pay a few extra bucks for one. You could probably homebrew something like this for much cheaper and have parts left over for a new project. But ain't nobody got time fo dat.
