Has Anyone Hardwired a Dash Cam or Radar Detector?

to get inside the headliner, just carefully pull it down from where it meets the windshield. As far as the center console: remove cupholder and your wires will be behind the e-brake. Tap in from there, unclip area around the shifter, and route the wire from there (or tap in from the cigarette lighter underneath the glovebox if you have it. much easier)

That doesn't sound too bad. How long of a a cord will I need to go from the center console up to the mirror?

the smartcord I used for my radar was 12 feet and I ended up with a good amount of slack. If you want I'll pop some pictures of how to route everything either tomorrow or friday. I need to route my new smartcord wire anyway.
