Bottom line up front, looking if anyone is familiar with the electrical connections in the sensor cluster above the rear view mirror.
I'm looking at finally hardwiring my dashcam. I know there are kits to tap the fusebox ( https://a.co/d/0aM64bqf ) and OBDII port options, but I think they're sloppy and unnecessary.
I was looking over the wiring diagrams for the lane keeping camera/temp/humidity sensor over the rear view mirror, and wanted to ask if anyone else has tapped the switched 12V power under the cover for a dashcam, and if there's a kit available. I know the XLT didn't come with auto-dimming mirrors, but that there may be an unused jack with switched 12V power under there.
For context, in the past, I used a kit that tapped my auto-dimming mirror on my Subaru BRZ to power my Radar detector, and it's a super clean, quick install that has been flawlessly reliable, but they don't explicitly support my dashcam https://a.co/d/003EYmmG that uses a USB Mini-B connector.
There are also 12V > USB mini-B hardwire kits with a stepdown transformer, I just need to know if anyone is familiar with tapping existing power in the camera/HVAC sensor cluster, or an unused auto-dimming mirror jack that could be tapped for a dashcam. They're low-wattage devices so I'm unconcerned with blowing a fuse.
