Is it possible to hardwire both a radar detector and a dashcam to the powered mirror? Would the mirror provide enough power?

All depends on the amount of juice that the cable your tapping into provides. If your load exceeds it then no you cant, if not then you can.

wow old thread. my passport 9500ix is hardwired, along with my G1W-C. 9500ix is hardwired to the cigarette lighter fuse on the driver side fuse panel and the G1W-C is hardwired to one of the 12V constant's in the passenger side kick panel (forgot the wire but you can find it on the12volt.com). as for hardwiring it to the rearview mirror, its probably possible to daisy chain it, since the fuse should be 10-15A, forget exactly, but why not just run a longer wire down one of the A pillar's and do it correctly?

What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)
need to do this...would like a bit of clarification if anyone has any advice just don't want to fry anything. Can I just put it in any 10amp fuse spot?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o01_s00 I tapped into the cigarette lighter power under the glovebox for ACC power and the 12V source in the big 3'pin harness on the passenger's kick panel area for constant 12V. Used one of the grounded screws in that area for ground. Wiring diagram that helped me find the 12V source: http://www.liquidc4.net/files/DEI_2009_Nissan_370Z.pdf |
