For hardwiring to a switched fuse in the fusebox rather than taking up a usb socket. The intention to wire to the same fuse as the dashcam so as soon as you get in the drivers seat the strips come on.
Not the exact one as you would probably need the 5v conversion type like a dashcam.

The strips come on with the key? I just put a USBc - USB2 multi adapter in my c socket. Unlock with key = strips light up & lock with key out they go.

I realise that but i wanted something more OEM without cables being seen in the cabin. A pet hate of mine if it can be done without seeing any wiring . My dashcam is wired so comes on as soon as you sit in the seat. Easy to do so ill go down that route i think.

Fare enough. Ive done my Nextbase front & rear cameras that way.

Just installed mine. I found the pwr cable a little short, so it can't go into the USBC socket with adapter.

After reading the post again, i realized how stupid i am. The pwr cable in my car is at the opposite side. i should uninstall and install again.

BTW, for anyone who interested to make it even more OEM, u can take power from OBD port .

Can you send a link to the upper strip and under seats leds? How did you managed to connect another strip to the controller?

It is the "10 in 1" version, 6 led emitters, 4 led strips and 8 meters plastic optic fiber. Not super bright.
