It's really not that bad running a wire up in the headliner edge and down the a pillar. I wish there was enough juice on the VW skynet thing but I don't think you would have luck tapping that. To turn on when the car is on and go into parking mode when the car is offI'd like to install a Thinkware F770 dash cam to my Mk7 Golf. I have a simple mirror so no power wires to tap into.
Any tips on tapping a switched wire in the sunroof switch / light cluster above the mirror?
Reviving this thread...does anyone have pictures dash cam and radar mounted? I have my blackvue positioned right under the mirror such that the camera lens is centered with the center of the mirror. I borrowed my friends mirror mount for the V1 but it hangs way lower than I would like it to. I'm looking for ideas as to how to mount the radar higher and closer to the mirror. Thanks!
If you want to move the dashcam, you can move it right to the top of the windshield, and over a few inches so the lens clears the black part of the windshield. It has a large enough FOV that being 4" off center isn't going to make any difference in what it picks up. Then you can put your radar detector there under the mirror if you want.

This is what I run in my mk6
Interesting - this might work. Do you have any mounted pics in your mk6?
