[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1189437, member: 21926"] My personal opinion is an upfitter for something as low draw as a dash cam is a bit on the wasteful side, but it is your truck we’re talking about here. With your plan, I’d consider sw 5 or 6, they’re the lowest amperage switches. You won’t need a fuse, but if you were to run a lower than up fitter amperage on that circuit, you might save yourself a trip to the main fuse box if you blow the circuit by pinching a wire or something simple. just a thought, not a recommendation. I think I might consider either tapping power at the headliner / mirror area for a top of the glass mount. I’m actually in the same thought process. I’ve tried to press 3 go-pros into service for this, and I think I have finally gotten my Hero5 session stable enough to consider a hard mount. You can run the USB cable to a USB to 12v cable and either tap at the mirror, OR, just run the wire down to the dash area and use either the cigarette lighter or plug with adapter. I had a Yi briefly, but the sound was terrible, hero4 black #1 quit on me, and go-pro replaced. hero5 session has been quite frustrating. I have struggled to get it to keep from freezing up, even with recommended SD cards. stable lately tho. good luck! [/QUOTE]
