Any Dash Cams you particularly like for being inconspicuous / ease of install?

Thinking its time...

I'm assuming I can find a +12V in the map light / sunroof control panel...?

I installed a Garmin Dashcam (because they're tiny) and took power from the moisture sensor on the windshield.

I put in the BlackVue 750 dual camera unit. Awesome. Wired through the headliner to the passenger side fuse box.

I use a system I found on Amazon for around $250. It came with a DVR that stores in my glovebox (or wherever I wanted it) and 2 cameras that had about 12' of cable each. The cameras are about 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". Never had an issue with it, has saved my butt a few times.

There is quite a bit of room available if you pull down the overhead console.

I just wired a 12V socket and zip tied it in place to plug my dash cam in, and then ran the wiring for the camera down behind the mirror. You could easily fit 2 12V sockets up there for radar detector, etc, as well.

Mine has been running in that manner for a couple of years with no issues.
