That's a really good pic. And for anyone else reading this thread, 3 and 24 are unused and powered (obviously). You can see that @ThirdCoastBoomer grounded on the left-most of the two bolts that go toward the firewall.

I have ordered the Pelsee 12 plus WiFi 4k and plan on hard wiring it as well on my 2025 Hybrid. Question with parking mode recording have you noticed a battery drain on the 12 volt battery? I am concerned about that and I am thinking of not activating that mode on the dash cam. any advise? also can you post how you did the wiring for power for the rear camera i hear that it is recommended to tap of the brake light ( but how do I reach one of the rear tail lights from inside?)

Most vehicle manufacturers have started including power ports for dash cams near the rearview mirror, but here in America with all the BS regulations and such they don't.
Well, to be fair to Ford, you know someone will try to plug their phone into it and lead it dangling. Have to engineer to the dumbest consumer.

If it helps anyone my Hyundai homelink mirror with wire harness I just purchased has 3 conductors… black with a round ring connector that is ground. A solid black wire with a spade connector that’s the power for the homelink radio , and a black+white stripe wire with a spade connector that’s the power for the mirror and compass.

I plan on having the black / white mirror power lead tied to a vehicle run line as it draws about 250 milliamps and I’ll wire the homelink lead off an accessory line or maybe on all the time as it draws no power unless the garage open/buttons are pressed, and then only about 25 ma.

New mirror works with my newer MyQ garage doors, no problem. Now I just need a truck to install it in :)
