So got the dash cam , im thinking of hard wiring it  Is it just a case of cutting the fag lighter connection off and wiring it with in-line fuse . Where would be the best/easiest place to wire to 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Had similar idea, This might help

Arrrrhg ! 4 pages of confusion  So tap into wiring , do not cut .
Bit i got confused over is what wiring you used and what fuse ? My cam is 5amp .

Oh one similar to this Link

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Can't remember what kind or size of fuse I used, Thought I had put it down in that thread, Seems like I didn't 

Whatever I did went in one ear and out the other.. Still works to this day so can't be that bad of a job 

Sure someone who's more electrically minded will fill in the dots

As a side note if not already done get a 32GB micro SD card presuming lts like all the rest that take this type of card... Have heard some Chinese cams are a bit fussy as to what class the cards are also

Ill pop in maplin an ask  The way i see it is i need some sort of USB to 12v with an in line fuse holder  what fuse i need i dont know so will ask in store 
Just want to hide the wire and dont want the fag tray open with the adaptor sticking out with wires everywhere 

Yep , fitted correct card and all working correct even on class 10

PM me your address, and I'll send you the spare converter I have. That's 12v to a male mini USB plug. The gubbins is about 1/4 the size of a matchbox and tucks inside the roof cavity easily.

Sent you a pm nick 

Maplin were not very helpful at all , came out with less of an idea . He said if i connect 12v to dash cam even with inline fuse it will blow the unit up
