That looks great! I like that no modifications are required to the existing wiring harness for the mirror. Does the USB port provide switched/accessory power or is it constant? I'm thinking about buying one myself.

I just got mine in the mail, its much much smaller than I expected and the electrical tape is applied very neatly too...IMO better than it looks in the pics...if it wasn't for the anticipated durability I'd just leave it, but it looks very simple to unwrap and replace with shrink wrap...I'm just glad its a solution that doesn't require cutting into other wires or running long runs across the car

I bought that same adapter for my G37 as well it was a a clean setup. I used it once and it got so hot it wouldn’t power the USB anymore. I am now waiting on the refund for the adapter. The seller was pretty cool with the situation.

That's cool he made it easy for a refund. I still think it's worth buying another one. I wonder if the issue had to do with the type of dash cam you used or the USB wire you used to connect to it? I bought a short 3 inch USB cable with right angle connections on it. I've been using the same set up for the last few months with no problem. I even have the camera on the outside of my sunshade (so the light is getting reflected on it) and I still have not had any issues nor has the tape unraveled.
