Search for a "hardwire kit" or a "fuse tap". You'll have to piggyback from an existing fuse socket and run the wires through the a-pillar and headliner.
IMO android auto and carplay are better then pretty much anything built into a car's infotainment system. We have a Toyota and a Nissan, both less than a year old, and the only time the factory system is used is to tune the radio station and use the rear/360 cameras. The best factory systems are...
Personal experience with hitch mounted accessories is that they all kind of suck. I can see how something like this would be useful if you need to load something heavy and then unload it somewhere else, but does it have to be hitch mounted? After reading through some of the 1 and 2 star reviews...
Don't need a USB port on the camera. It would be better to use a 12V to 5V USB tap that can be tucked under the headliner or otherwise hidden somewhere along the wiring route.
You could add a USB tap and have a hard wire for your dash cam on the same circuit. Classic 2 birds 1 stone scenario. The way OP has it wired would even give you the option of using always hot or accessory power.
As someone else mentioned, the ground might not be in the best spot. It should be...
Thought this would be interesting, maybe even helpful, to those of you with young families.

This might be the $1900 question.
How long until you break even in fuel cost alone?
Some unknowns like how long you plan to keep the Mav and how do maintenance cost and depreciation compare between hybrid and Ecoboost.
Other intangibles like if you enjoy driving the turbo more.
The FWD EcoBoost...
Not sure there is a good reason to get a FWD EcoBoost. It kind of made sense before AWD was required for 4K. The instant torque from the hybrid's electric motor seems to really close the gap in real world acceleration scenarios. I guess the current lack of hybrid availability is the limiting...
I bought a Tacoma over the summer and tried to move on with my life. Ordered the Mav in November. I bought the placeholder without realizing at the time that it was a placeholder.
Ordered mid November.
Dealership would not give me an estimated delivery date.
Called the Mav marketing team and they said to call back if I haven't been scheduled by early February.
100% agree. The electric car more than satisfies my itch to drive a manual. I really like how the regenerative braking causes a clutch-like drag on the power train when I step off the accelerator.
