| Where to plug a dashcam in? |
|
Just invested in a new dashcam, and my question is,where to plug the power cable in. It comes with a USB plug which I was going to plug into the socket in the glove box, which is quite easy and makes a fairly neat and unobtrusive job. However, in the instruction book it says several times, do not plug anything other than audio devices into the USB socket. At the moment it’s plugged into the power socket in the centre console.
Any thoughts appreciated.

you can buy the Nextbase kit from Hellfrauds for £20 and its an easy install.... or at least it was in a FL2
ive currently got my nextbase cable run under the trim and plugged into the socket next to the suspension/TR controls 2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten
