Hiding dashcam wires in a 3gen mazda3

[hiimnotbry]

Just recently got my dash cam for my car, saw a few videos on where and how to hide the wiring. The only issue is when I get close below the glove box. Since there is no cig outlet or USB outlet anywhere except the centre console compartment, I'm not sure how I can make it as discrete as possible.

I made a little diagram of what I'm thinking of doing, are there any other suggestions?

Hardwire kit....

The centre console panels most likely just pop off if you can figure it out.

I hooked mines up directly to the fuse box by the drivers left foot. Use add a circuit and a 12v socket. Zap strap everything under the dash and hide everything in the trim.

If you dont want to use a hardwire kit, you can run the wire at the top of the windshield towards the passenger's A-Pillar, then towards the door's weather seal then run it down till the door sill. pop the door sill then wire it until the pillar where your Seatbelt is. there's a part there that has an opening for the wires. pass your wire there then run it below the passenger seat then just plug it in the center console.

you'd think that car manufacturers would just put a plug for dashcams at the bed of the rear view mirror nowadays. dashcams are like a necessity now. especially w/ insurance.
