Has Anyone Hardwired a Dash Cam or Radar Detector?

I have that "style" dashcam in my 370z and love it. Have had it for over a year now with no problems and have caught all kinds of crazy stuff

So I went ahead and bought everything and installed it all yesterday. Overall everything went well. I tucked the wire up top along the head liner, ran it down the A-pillar and weather stripping, and tapped into the "Cigar Lighter" fuse.

I'm having some problems with the camera itself, but nothing related to the install. For some reason when I try and connect it to my computer, my computer cannot detect it. I can't remove the microSD card either, because it is stuck in there. I contacted the company and it sounds like they're going to send me a replacement. Hopefully that one works a little better.

Anyways, here's a little write-up I did for the install.
