Hardwiring a Dashcam
I'm putting a Dashcam in both cars, after my wife had a prat in a BMW decide to turn into her V70 the other evening.
It's a Nextbase 512, going into a 2013 MY XC90. Looking for a switched live to feed it as I don't really fancy using the lighter plug. And I'll keep forgetting to plug it in.... Any tips or pointers would be ace, don't fancy blowing up my pride and joy! (I've got a similar thread running in the V70 section, as I'm doing both cars) |

I’ve not come across these before, what an excellent idea. Thanks for the heads up!
