Fitted Dash cam MG4

[Daleh43]

Hi,
Just fitted a dash cam to my LR MG4. Bought a power adapter cable from China (not sure if I can post link ?) and a 12v to 5v from Amazon. The power adapter cable comes with a round small 8pin which I cut off to reveal 2 wires (red/black) connected to 12v to 5v and checked power to dashcam. Boom, works a treat.
A few photos attached to show connection.
Dashcam will auto switch on when car opened and switches off when locked.

How did you get the cable through to the dashcam? I’ve tried and the gap is too tight at the windscreen?

Hi,
Hi fed the usb c cable through the headliner. There is room. The 12v -5v stepdown fits snuggly in the roof space

Managed it with the help of a flexible ruler. Thanks for the info
