    has anyone wired one there instead of running wired down to the fuse box? I have a Mobius cam laying around, but I'm being lazy...

    I have seen a couple of wiring guides for a radar detector that goes up to the dome light but Mobius probably has different voltage requirements. The Mobius seems like the perfect small camera to have as a dashcam as it's so tiny and takes great quality video. How are you planning on mounting it ? There is some useful info here https://dashcamtalk.com/mobius/

    Providing you have a permanent live up there you should be ok. I believe they need a permanent live for parking mode shock sensor?

    The jungle of wires is what puts me off fitting the blackvue front and rear camera, my OCD for clean looking installs would trigger.

    It's so easy to get to the fuse box. It's really 5 minutes of easy work.

    That's what I did too. Easy, and not having to tap into existing wiring (and possibly damaging it) is the way to go, IMO I did that for both dashcam and radar detector.
