If any of you plan on hard wiring a dash cam, I found the cleanest install without running a wire all the way to your fuse box would be tapping into the power on the auto dimming mirror (if you have this equipped on your Jeep)
The little plastic cap behind the mirror just pops off. The black wire is ground and the pink/yellow stripe wire is IGN on the plug for the mirror.
I cut and soldered these to tap into these connections, I couldn't fit my heat shrink into the wiring because they were too short, so I just wrapped it in electrical tape. I used a JST RCY plug I had extras laying around for a quick power disconnect.
I shortened both ends of the wiring on the USB hardwire kit by cutting it shorter and resoldering it back onto the circuit board. I then tucked it all into the plastic trim the mirror attaches to since we don’t have a headliner like on a regular car.
