This guide will show you how to install a dash cam (or other 12v device) with a hidden 12v socket in your car.

First of all I purchased a G1Wh dash cam from Ebay for about £32 and a Kingston 32GB SDHC Class 10 for £12 on Amazon

Place the dash cam on your window like this

Run the wire along the roof lining of the window, around the A pillar and then down the door rubber like this

Run the wire out here

Take off this part of the black plastic (has 3 bits its held on by and then slides back towards the seat, This is also the same place to get at the pollen filter)
Also take off the leather housing for the gear stick by pulling it up by the plastic rim around it.
The wire from the device can then be threaded through a gap and grabbed from the other side under the gear stick area.

Have a new 12v plug socket and Ebays 'QUICK SPLICE SCOTCH LOCK WIRE CONNECTORS, ELECTRICAL CRIMP TERMINALS CABLE SNAP' 22-16 gauge

To use the Crimp connectors
Place the red and gray wire leading to the original 12v in one side of the connector and the cut off end of the red wire of the new 12v socket into the other half of the connector.
Then use pliers to squeeze the metal in the connector into the wires.

Do the same for the black wires.

The yellow is the earth on the original 12v socket and does not need to be touched. Yelow is the supply for the light up ring round the cig lighter ((MOD))

You can now test this all works by turning the ignition on and plugging a device into the new 12v socket.

When you know it all works, Turn the car off again and tape the new socket into the gear stick area making sure it does not get in the way.

Replace all trim and cable tie any loose wire up behind the glove box

You are done.
