Default Hardwired radar detector and dashcam.

Has anyone used a Mirrortap to wire both of their units ?
I'm adding a Blackvue to my Passport and would like to
wire them both into a power source above the mirror mount.

I have a Blackvue DR650S-2CH and have to install it. I also have the Power Magic Pro to enable and control the parking mode function. I think I'm going to get power from the passenger side dash fuse box and maybe mount the PMP in the glove box.

I still have to bench test it before I determine where everything should go.

Good suggestion about the PMP, wonder if there is room to mount it on the fuse panel cover.

No room on the fuse panel cover when the door is closed.

I've been thinking about it and since the PMP switch shuts off the parking monitor function, I might bury the control box in in fuse box.

I don't think I would want the cameras off when parking. If I need or want to kill the cameras for some reason, it's easier to pull the power wire off the main camera.
