Wiring dash cam to rear view mirror power supply
Hi there everyone, I am interested in installing a dash cam for my TSX but doesn't want to deal with all the long wirings... Is it ok to hard wire the dash cam onto the rear view mirror diming power supply? I believe the wire is protected by a 10A fuse? Thanks in advance guys.

Sure. They have things called mirror taps for this exact purpose

VTEC just kicked in, yo!
Not sure if the rear view mirror wire is hot only when ignition is on, or always on. If it's the former and your dash cam has a "parking" mode, you may not be getting the power you need when the car is turned off. If this is not a feature you care about, then this should be fine.
