I've settled on the Mobius as my dash cam of choice for a 2014 Ford Focus SE sedan.
I'd like to have the installation as discreet as possible (I do have that black dot vinyl wrap thing behind the rear view mirror and may potentially be tinting the top section as well of the windshield) and ideally, have it hardwired into the car if possible so I'm not permanently taking up the cigarette lighter to charge.
Is there anything I could buy that would satisfy these conditions? I saw some of the other mounts posted here, but they're either larger suction mounts, or have some sort of fancy installation that I am likely unable to do.
I am thinking that heavy duty velcro will be handy here, as I'd like to be able to remove the Mobius easily if possible (to protect vs theft and heat). I saw this thread here where someone has created a pretty solid mount DIY-style, but I was hoping there is something similar I could just buy. Instead of the magnets, I'd prefer to use the heavy duty velcro to remove the Mobius when necessary as to not create any magnetic interference with the device or the SD card.
Lastly, since I am not technically inclined, and I literally just bought this car a few days ago, I am quite wary of doing any electrical work to it myself. I'd want a professional installer to do the hardwiring at the same time they'd be doing the rear view camera installation (I'll be using a rear view mirror on the windshield as the camera as well) so that I have their expertise for both installations. What type of installer do I need to go to that will understand how I want the dashcam set up to be?
Thanks!
