    Hard wired my dashcam. Decided it wasn't practical to tap into the power in the headliner console of the SR so ran the cable down the drivers side pillar and tapped into the fuse panel behind the kick panel. If you have an SR this is pretty much your only option.

    Ok got the mini installed. Suction mount is worthless so I went to regular mount. My problem is if I put it on drivers side of rear view mirror no matter how I adjust the mirror it pushes camera up. If I put on passenger side it’s ok.
    Maybe I need to mount it a little higher or lower? Any help is appreciated. :help:

    Quality is good and I use this lightning cable and love it. Download drone footage all the time to others phones.

    Yes, thanks..... sorry about the double pics :D

    I ordered the shorter cord so I’ll probably just go to passenger side to keep it a little more hidden.

    What length of cord did you use for the rear-facing cam? Mind sharing a link?

    It comes with a cord that is something like 13'.
    However, I wanted one that had a right angle plug for both the cam and USB.

    Micro USB Cable, CTREEY 90 Degree...
    CTREEY Micro USB Charging Cable, [3 Pack 3Ft 6Ft 10Ft] 90 Degree Durable Braided Android Charger USB to Micro USB Cable Fast Charging for Samsung Galaxy S7/S6 Edge, Kindle, LG, Power Bank (Black)
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0775L8MBY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    I could only find it in a 3pack that had variable sizes. Chucked the others in my junk drawer and used the 10' cord.

    Why is it that people that either cause a wreck or hit another person get out of their car looking pissed off
