Many cars have electrics in and around the rearview mirror, however they will be 12 volts whereas almost every cam requires 5v (there are a few 12v cameras but they are few and far between). Some cars have the power for the inside light, automatic rearview mirror and sunroof all right there. So just disassemble that cluster and find a power line that turns off when the ignition is turned off. Then connect a 12v to 5v power supply and then your usb cable to that. I was waiting for the 0803 teething issues to be fixed before I buy mine but I will be using this power supply: http://www.miniinthebox.com/ultra-small-lm2596-power-supply-module-dc-dc-buck-3a-adjustable-buck-module-regulator-ultra-lm2596s-24v-switch-12v-5v-3v_p1023925.html?currency=GBP&litb_from=paid_adwords_shopping&gclid=CIS02Izl6rwCFc_MtAodfgIAPw (already have it) and will just have a 6 inch piece of usb cable coming out from behind the mirror. Currently most of these dashcams use a type of usb connector called a mini-b, but I reckon that the micro-b (same as the ones of most phones) will be more popular in future so I will put in both cables. I'll also have a fuse on the input to that psu.

This is the first video before I have got around to changing any settings and very happy with it especially for night. I literally just plugged it in and drove, and it turned on and off I need to wire it properly, and the cable provided seems a bit thick and way too long, what kind of cigarette lighter adapter would I need? Is there a certain wattage?

Waiting on one cable to arrive so using the stock one at the moment. It's not heard to tuck the cable under the trim, then down the rubber on the door frame to the fuse box. Once there, you take an existing fuse that's not constant (starts and stops with ignition on/off). Use this fuse in the piggy back with a new 5V fuse and replace it in the existing socket. The cable is then tapped into the live cable port and earthed to the glove box bolt. Ebay link for the power cable here Ebay link for the piggy back fuse here 1 Pack of 2 5v fuses from your local auto parts store.

cerastes wrote: » Sounds like a good idea for wiring up, mine, I have to keep plugging in and out everytime and it takes up space on the multi 12v adapter. I'll have to check and see if there are spare fuse locations that have 12v power on them, I'd prefer that and run a wire from it if I can get access to the back of the fuse panel, havent tried to gain access to the back of it, sometimes can be difficult, so I'll have to check. How much for the 0803?, I thought it looks ok, but then following on see people are having problems possibly? and where do they come from? Saw some for 100 dollars, shipping from China, got a cam that way and it ended up being next to useless, took ages, got hit for import tax/duty too. Makes me wonder if some 0803's are as bad??
Tazium wrote: » You'll want to step that 12V down to 5V for the camera. Using the piggy back I linked too you'll pop out one existing one and use it's slot. It's straight forward and all wired up. I'm no expert but I managed it on my own. No issues so far with the 0803. Bought from Amazon seller EPrance. Also got a 32Gb card from Amazon it's class 6 I think. No issue with that either. It's was reasonable for both. Amazon link for the camera here there are multiple options available. I got the non GPS version and non internal memory.
Tazium wrote: » No particular reason for not going with the GPS, just didn't see the need for it just yet. As for the memory, well I think taking the micro SD out of the camera for transfer to the computer via an adapter is just easier than removing the entire camera from the 'hot foot'. I read something on Technomoan about that too, where the guy suggests that removing it repeatedly will loosen the connection. It's plastic after all.
cerastes wrote: » I think I might go for one of these, probably with the GPS but without the internal memory, doesn't seem to be a significant advantage to that. The G1W looks ok too, but this seems better.
