Just bought one of these!

Update peoples!

Ordered this cable http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330761607633?var=540069478373&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and this Griffin USB charger http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Dual-USB-In-Car-Charger-Twin-PortMini-Adapter-for-iPhone5-4-4S-3G-UK-seller-/171343478499?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item27e4ddfee3
The cable is 5 metres in length and the Griffin is perfectly small to fit into the A2 lighter socket almost flush..
Ran the cable along through the headlining down inside the pillar plastics then under the plastics of the dash and slid the cable remaining down under the plastics at the back of the footwell then along the seam of the carpet and under the handbrake plastics to exit with a couple of inches to spare to the Cigarette lighter socket, looks so neat and tidy and only took me 15 minutes, you can't even see the cable is there, took the full 5 metres mind, brilliant job I just remove the cam as and when and slip it in me pocket when not in use..
Good thing is the Griffin has another spare USB slot for the Tomtom and am going to do exactly the same for that on the other side only coming from the drivers side vent as I have a Brodit Tomtom mount connected on that side, think its the neatest tidiest solution I have ever had in any car I have owned over the years, pics to follow tomorrow!

Ok Guys
Got a few pics today but seeing as the cable is so well hidden there really isn't much to see honestly :D

DSC00428_zps3b9d302d.jpgPinched under windscreen plastics
DSC00429_zps719f9c4d.jpgagain pinched between plastics and routed down through dash and under glovebox compartment
DSC00431_zps0fbca8e3.jpgIts only the flash that has shown the writing on the cable otherwise its almost invisible
DSC00432_zps1dcd1b89.jpgrouted down under the plastics in the footwell
DSC00420_zps8c991041.jpgwhich exits the other end and runs under the edge of the carpet and is then pinched inbetween runner and handbrake plastics
DSC00424_zpsbffdc32a.jpgMount hides behind mirror quite nicely
DSC00423_zpse518f012.jpguse white spirit to clean the windscreen where you will place the mount and it will stick like s**t :p
DSC00422_zps8e930ffb.jpgplace where you think it will be the least conspicuos

What do you think to the footage quality?

Very sharp in daylight and good detail at night too, you do get some starring of streetlights at night but every camera does this anyway!

On a sidenote had a mate round earlier to see the new car, he was sitting in the drivers seat checking everything out, he loved the little sunvisor between driver and passenger visors, spent almost 5 minutes in there playing with radio and stuff, never noticed the camera at all, was only when he had got out that I said did you see the dashcam..job done I think! :D
