[Need Help] Dashcam install to hide wires.
Hi everyone, I have a C43 Coupe and I would like to install a dashcam, but I can't seem to find an easy way to plug in the USB cable so either the cup holder can close or the center console can close.
Does anyone have any experience or tips that I could use to help me hide/route my wires? Thank you!

This guide is over in the regular C-class forum. You can search in that area for other posts/ideas, but this is a top notch method.

Hardwire it.
I used a fuse tap into the 5A fuse for the analog clock in the fuse box that's in the door frame left of the steering wheel.

For the center console, just out of completeness..., if you open it up half way, a usb connector slides underneath with a bit of wiggle), which you can then then shift the wire to the top corner edge which allows it to open and close properly. You can then run the wire in the groove up the side of the center console (obscures the led lights though). Double sided sticky tape keeps it in place and hidden. This is how my phone charger is done.

my installer hardwired a phone charger and my 2 channel dash cam with backup battery. The backup battery is in the boot and i think he took power from the passenger footwell? super neat all fused, labelled and wrapped in felt tape so it doesnt rattle
