Here you go. Wish the USB input was on the other side but that small wire doesn't bother me at all. Barely see it.
Aye that’s neat enough. Nice job.

How did you run the wire?

Ran it to my homelink mirror via the invisicord. I also added a 90 degree micro USB adapter because the OEM power adapter stuck out way too much. I can post that adapter and a better picture for you if you'd like when I get home.
Yeah worked out well. Love that it all turns on and off automatically too.
Yeah paint a link to that adaptor would be much appreciated. I would imagine the invisicord will be compatible with many different dash cams? I haven't settled on the exact brand/model I'm getting. Also if you can direct me to a set of instructions that would be great
I like it mounted on the right side. Virtually zero obstruction.

I picked up a Garmin 35 dash cam for my GX... the part I don't like is the fixed mount you have to use on windshield. I was hoping I could use a suction cup based one but anything out there blocks part of the view of the camera lens. I plan to install next week.
One con of a Garmin Dash Cam 35 and an Invisicord.... the camera wants to boot in mass storage mode as if connected to a computer. This requires a few button pushes every time it powers up to get into dashcam mode. Not the most convenient and unlike my experience with my KDlinks and the Invisicord.
This is not the case with my Garmin dash cam 45. It boots up into camera mode every time. It does tell me that the cable I have connected isn't supported to charge the device but it 100% charges that camera and that message goes away within 5 seconds.
Has anyone taken the plastic housing off of the piece behind the mirror? I see it has a split down the middle. This would be a great place to hide some of the wires for the camera. There also appears to be a big void in the headliner to hide extra wires.
We're purchasing a new cx-5 tonight, and I'll be installing a camera Wednesday.

Okay so the inivisord is the main cord that allows for power. There are different power hooks up for the invisicord but I got the micro usb option because my garmin dash cam is charged via micro usb. The invisicord is posted within this forum.
Here is the 90 degree micro usb adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned).
Here is a picture of everything tucked up and connected. You can't see anything from normal driving positions.
So basically 90 degree micro usb adapter, plugs into the micro usb invisicord, and that just plugs into the homelink. Which is the red and yellow wire you see. Those insert locations are also posted within this thread.
Does the Invisicord step down power from 12v to 5v?? Or does the fusebox (if you order one with it) have also a step down in it? Most cameras are 5V so I'm curious where the voltage conversion takes place.
