Hooked up the old dash cam today finally. Just an Aukey DR01, nice and cheap with no frills.
Tapped into the rain sensor power with a 12v to 5v converter hidden in the mirror housing. Can't see any wires due to top angled connection which is wedged between the headliner and glass. 2 Sided tape on the mirror to hopefully keep it from moving.
Will run it for a bit and see if the battery drains or cam angle needs adjusting but it looks pretty clean at first glance.
Edit: started getting the battery drain warning when it is -20C so I unplugged the cam for now. The rain sensor seems to run a couple minutes longer after the car is locked.
