Finally decided to install a dash cam in the car. Ordered it last week and it's supposed to be here on Tuesday. Seems each passing week I run across more idiots running stop lights, illegal turns and lane changes, and a whole host of other incidents that finally made me pull the trigger on one.
Not going to run a hot wire to leave it on all the time, but I did run across a neat gadget that will allow me to install without running a metric mile of wiring to power it up.
These are adapters that connect into your rear view mirror (for those that are powered for auto-dimming). Wiring stays up high and hidden allowing a fairly quick install. I ordered a Garmin Mini 3. Don't want (or need) a fancy model that all but cooks your eggs for breakfast. Wanted a small footprint that won't clutter up the windshield.
I'll give an update after it's installed and I run with it for a while.
