If you’ve installed a dash cam then you’ll be all too familiar with the frustration of running long, messy cables through the interior of your car. Yes, they can be tucked behind interior trim panels. But it’s a pain to do this neatly and you still end up wasting time running a cable from the top of the windshield to a USB socket, 12-volt supply or OBD connection which, almost always, is a good couple of feet away.
When testing dash cams I tend to run cables over the passenger sun visor, then through the door handle and down towards the 12-volt socket in the footwell. It’s (just about) tidy enough, but isn’t compatible with using the passenger door. The alternative is to let the dash cam cable dangle inelegantly down, just like we’ve all seen in Ubers where the driver has three smartphones on the dashboard.
