    I just used the charger that came with the dashcam. That already converts 12V to 5V.

    is it a cigar lighter port type of charger? if so, how did you hardwire the adapter to the fuse box without disassembling the adapter?

    We dissambled the adapter.

    i imagine a PCB or coils to convert voltage is inside the housing? i would not know where to tap +/- wires if that is the case.

    are you referring to the cable wires?the ones that connect to the dashcam itself? how about the internals of the adapter, the converter itself? how did you tap the wires from the fuse box to the converter? did you leave it dangling around unprotected? thanks!
