It looks super clean and factory, works great and no battery drain issues.
My Dashcam has a built in battery so it continues to record for sometime after the power source is off. Gives me recording long enough to go in and out of stores while still recording.
Do you have any pics of this install process? What did you have to remove and any difficulties with clips, etc? I want to do the same tap to hardwire my radar detector
