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 :-\

Arrrrhg ! 4 pages of confusion :D ;D 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 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1080P-CAR-DVR-Vehicle-Video-Camera-Recorder-Dash-Cam-G-sensor-GS8000L-HDMI-Cable-/301042725960?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item46178b7448)

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 :-X ;D
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 :y
Sure someone who's more electrically minded will fill in the dots :y

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 :-\

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.

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 ??? ::)
