ThanksIf you have a powered HomeLink mirror Invisicord is far easier & quicker to install than other options. I put one today on my Infiniti for it's webcam.
Easy to remove as well.
I am not a lawyer. I don't work for a lawyer or even associate with them. For anything beyond a GUESS, contact a lawyer.The question is, is it worth the risk of the camera being used against you, more than being used in your favor. If something happens, it could be used as evidence either way, ya know...
After using the long cig light cord forever I decided to use an Invisicord plugged into the mirror. Talk about easy.
Thanks DBLXX from this thread!
I bought this cord.
I bought the micro one
Fit seems good. It plugged in without much effort but feels taut enough connectors are not gonna fall out.

- purchased with fuse
- all connections are to connections with wires already coming out. I don't think the mirror connections are the same on all model years so you probably want to take a multimeter to it if you are unsure. Make sure you are utilizing the switched power connection as well unless you want your dashcam with power on at all times.
- I used a small piece of velcro and attached to the rear side of the mirror.
You should change your profile, to which year CX5 do you have. I matters in this case.
The earlier CX5s, have a front charging port, that switches off with the car and the one in the center arm rest, it doesn't.
Thank you for this thread!
Just installed a https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) in my 2016.5 GT using an Invisicord. Super easy. Works great!
I bought the Micro (1/2 x 1/16) Connector version with a fuse.
The little box on the cable already has mounting tape on it - a thoughtful touch! Just peel off the backing and stick it to the back of the mirror.
Use a zip tie to secure the Invisicord to the mirror - just in case the Dash Cam falls off the window you don't want it yanking on the cord and probes.
Facing the wires going into the back of the plug, the ground was the middle black, switched power the right-most wire - I think it's blue with black striping.
I purchased the version with a fuse.With or without a fuse?
Hello
Can you kindly share few pics showing the wiring. Mine is connected to the always on Cigarette lighter port and its a pain to pull the cable every-time. Want to connect to a switched connection the same way you have done.
I purchased the version with a fuse.
Pictures attached
This is a 2016.5.
