    I went with this mirror power adapter, works great and easy to hide. Placed my camera near the top edge of the windshield, can’t see the camera or adapter while driving.

    Haven't taken a decent picture of how it looks but it's tucked away and out of my windshield view.

    Adding to this thread, Garmin makes a OBD-2 constant power adapter that can power 2 USB devices (aka 2 Garmin Minis)
    I've been using that for my front/rear setup

    Has switches for 12hr, 24hr, continuous with auto shutoff detecting battery voltage to not fully drain your starter battery

    $40 though
