Yes, I did a search in the entire forum for "Blackvue Plaid" and had no hits. The auto suggestion feature of the search engine suggested this link, but it was for a Model 3 and had no bearing on my situation.
I was fortunate enough in my P90D to have the unused 12v constant power plug (unused EU spec for something?) in the rear view mirror assembly. I assume my Plaid does not have this "feature". My camera (DR750X-2ch) claims a maximum draw (according to the BV website) of 3.8W per hour or about .32A. Very tiny draw. I suspect I could come off the overhead lights in the rear view mirror console (they seem to have power all the time) and are likely on a 1A minimum fuse. I did some prying on the black plastic trim, but it didn't seem to want to come off and I didn't want to break it. Hidden tabs or something?
Anyone else install a dashcam in the Plaid yet? The OEM Sentry system has terrible video and no sound. Worthless.
