I'm getting a dash camera that will be mounted in front of the mirror and if I could find 5V (for microUSB power) already used by one of the mirror functions, it would save a lot of wire routing.

Nice tidy installation. So you just tucked the EDO power unit into the headliner? I'm was going to get one of the 080x cams but read many comments that it vibrated excessively because of the off-center mount. How's your doing...the new ones are mostly capacitor-driven 'cuz its common for the batteries to leak. I ordered a $19 B40 clone from China that's that so cheap it may be scam, but I figured I'd risk it. No GPS but I may add it later for saving tracks to isolated places up on the Rez, where go frequently. If it works out, I'll probably buy higher quality cams for the truck and my Cayenne, maybe dual cam rigs. (Unless the cop unions get 'em banned.)

Mine's working fine. I rarely review footage except to see if it's working. I've never utilized the GPS function.
Yes, the EDO wires/unit is tucked in the headliner.

That's the same way I did mine, I think I even used alrock's instructions, I got tired of the outlet adapter pushing itself out and losing power, plus the cable is cheap and the insulation kept cracking apart from flexing too often. I gutted the adapter and shortened the cable and used shrink wrap to protect it, then shoved that in the headliner and connected to the switched 12v feed at the mirror harness.
