How to route cable for dashcam?
I have a 2020 GLC300 and all the ports are USB-C. I only see one 12V cigarette port on the back of the center console.
I’m not familiar with fuse boxes so that’s last resort if it’s the only solution.
Is there a way to route the cable from the dashcam to any port that’ll hide it?
There’s one USB-C port under the entertainment center(next to wireless charging pad) but that’s used for Apple Carplay. Then there’s two inside the center console itself.
Running the cable to the center console makes the cable stick out and looks all messy. Any other ports I haven’t found?
Dash cam is a VIOFO A129.
Also, there’s already a camera that came with the car but I have no idea how to use it, it only comes on when I’m stopped at an intersection.

You can search by my name and find where I have picture where I tap and how the wire goes.
There is a very long discussion.
