I was in Kuala Lumpur last month, and while riding in a ride share, I noticed the electronic package above the mirror, had an outlet. I would probably be tough to do a built in one with our mavericks, but would it be possible to wire a USB-C plug, with maybe a 3D printed housing to stick to the cover. I know next to nothing about wiring stuff like this.

Be careful if your dash cam that plugs into a cigarette lighter needs the part that you put into the recipical that reduces the voltage from 12V to 5Volts. don't just cut the wire and tap it into a 12V line. Dash cams come in different voltage systems.
