Tapping power in the rear seats

[kbuicker]

Hey gents, I was considering putting another dashcam on the rear window. I don't want a nasty power cord in the way, so I was thinking I would run it to the rear of the center console and tap into the 120v power plug. I'm sure it pops out and I can snap on a tap? Has anyone done this yet before I go cutting?

P.S. I'm adding a second Garmin Mini 2 to the rear. Great tiny cams.

There are unused fuses for always on and switched in the passenger footwell fuse box. There is nothing easier than popping off the plastic covers in the door openings on that side and running your new wire from behind the seat all the way right to that fuse box. There are other wires there - perfect for that purpose. Removing those, running the wires and replacing them should be no more than 20 minutes. Another few to use fuse taps to get the power.

Can you pull up both cameras with the one Garmin app?

Yes you can. I think I can hide it behind the headrests.

Cool. I like the size of those. Considering that or the Rove that also records the interior.
