Ah sound, We are getting there slowly... 

Couldn't I just insert the part the comes with the camera that goes into the cigarette socket into a gap up there and wire it up that way shame to cut the wire, Need to see what comes with it first tho I suppose, I'm expecting delivery tomorrow.

found a guide on how to remove the main cover

This is my biggest problem, Which are the wires I could connect to get positive feed, I'll take a picture of my wires when I get a chance incase they are different.

I checked that link again and you don't need a USB adaptor - the voltage range is 12 - 24 volts!
Nick must be using a different model that requires 5 Volts, hence the need for the USB adaptor.
However, a fuse is essential, so look at Maplins site for a small, in-line fuseholder.

Ron.

Thanks for the clarification Ron 

Regarding the inline fuseholder something like this (LINK)is required with a 12V fuse.

Like that but only 3-5 amps at a guess

The smaller red to pin 5 on the plug should do it

[Mr.OmegaMan]

The smaller red to pin 5 on the plug should do it

Picture #4 far right thinner red wire, That the one Al. 

Just double checking everything before going ahead with the surgery 

[05omegav6]

The one that enters the plug at Pin 5

Tap into it about two inches away by stripping the insulation from about 5mm of it solder to this and wrap in insulation tape. Do not cut the wire...

Earth or negative can be fitted with a ring terminal and mounted using one of the sunroof motor mounting bolts

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Great stuff 

Thanks everyone for your help and patience, Much appreciated

I'll update tomorrow evening most likely...

No need to cut any wires, use a "Scotchlok"

They cost pennies, and cut into the wire your host wire and also your fuseholder wire, which you place alongside it.

Each to their own but I much prefer a soldered joint with shrink tube insulation.

[Bigron]

I can understand your antipathy towards them. Al, and I would never use them for any high current application - too little contact area - but for a quick and easy job, especially up in the head lining of an Omega where a soldering iron could do much damage, they are fine.
If applied carefully and firmly, so that the locking cover comes over and closes properly, they are fine.

Ron.

[05omegav6]

Until they shake loose... They're not waterproof either and you would be surprised just how much condensation there can be above the headlining

[Mr.OmegaMan]

It's all done 

I went for this one in the end for the front LINK Hopefully better quality and will last longer.

Has more handy features, I can control the camera from my phone over WiFi using their free app, You can adjust the settings for the camera on the phone saves upsetting the camera, Watch live steam on the phone, Watch and the option to save recorded videos on the phone. Pretty handy like...

That leaves the little camera spare so put that on the rear window in such a way it won't damage the Rear Blind, Tucked the wire on the side of the back seat then under part of the bottom rear seat then tucked along the carpet poping out for the rear power socket

So far so good, See how they get on on a run...

Looks good if you are able to post some sample video up would be great to see how it performs, especially at night.
