I went to Radio Shack but they didn't have any 5X20mm inline fuse holders.
My installer took power from the obd power wires for the cam and Brodit iPhone cradle/charger. Added fuse as we'll. Works fine, power is always on.
Windscreen reflections can be reduced a bit by adding a polarizing filter, my next project
Has anyone try connecting the Dashcam to the ODB-II connector for power?
I was thinking of using something like these: 100cm OBD2 OBD II 16 Pin Male to Female Extension Cable 1M Car Diagnostic Cable | eBay , then cut off the female end and connect the dash cam (pin4 if chassis ground, pin 5 is signal ground, pin 16 is battery Voltage).
If you can access the wires behind the OBD2 connector, and the individual wires are separate (not bundled into a cable), you could use a vampire connector available at auto parts stores. I'm not sure what these are technically called, but they're really easy to use, and I've done this on the OBD2 connector of a different car.
ARTSCI, how much and where did you buy this?I have the Inavi XFD900 which provide fabulous HD recordings front and rear. I recommend it highly.

Thanks guys for the explanations.
Still looking for the car fuse number if anyone knows it.

...so am I.
If anyone, has a fuse number that ties to the spare 12v connector behind the microphone cover, I would love to learn what it is. In the meantime, I continue trial-and-error, but at least one of the empty fuse sockets seem to be loose -- as if there are no metal connectors on the inside. Hope that't not the one.
Used all the great tips to do the installation, but have not been able to get the spare 12v connector to go live.
And what's the logic of the Model S having no spare fuses?
