    and of course looking to tag into any existing supply.
    So, got mirror surround access door off, surround off, I see 1 harness that branches 1 time.
    The main harness goes into a box that looks expensive, maybe 14 wires, maybe 4 large.
    The branch adapts to what looks like an antenna.

    I see (online) how to also remove overhead console, 'chandelier' easily?

    I'm a pretty good tech.... where can I tag off 2 amps of 5 volts (switched) or 12 v, not too close to big $.

    THX!

    I also could be interested in adding a front dash cam.

    It won't be the same in your car, but you might be able to follow the idea I used for mine.

    The bottom line is that if you buy a short subscription to the official repair manual and interactive wiring diagram, you can get some very good information that makes this installation pretty easy.

    I did that six years ago and the system is still functioning flawlessly.

    Good luck!
