Just finished this up.
Bought a 12v to 5v(USB) off of Amazon. Then wired the power and ground with T-Tap’s.

I also ordered a mini-usb on accident and cut it off and put a micro-usb on.

I then wired the other part of the T-Tap to the power(green) and ground(black/white) on the cable running along my windshield, not the one plugging into the back of the mirror.

and plugged my power to power and ground to ground

Shoved all the cabling up into my headliner and now I have an easy way to power my camera
