I just got done installing my GT550W dash came in front of my rear view mirror on my 2006 Hyundai Elantra. I made my own custom metal bracket and attached it to the rear view mirror mount. I also painted the front of the camera body with flat black paint so it would blend in better.
The camera is hard wired into the 12v accessory port using the wiring that came with it. I have very little room between my rear view mirror and the windshield so I had to open up the camera and solder two leads directly to the circuit board. Using the factory power adapter would have been impossible without a right angle adapter and the right angle adapter would have interfered with the rear view mirror. All of the wiring is hidden.
The camera can still be removed if desired, but it is easier to just remove the micro SD card.
For now, these pictures are terrible. I took them with my cell phone and will try to get better ones later. This is about as "stealth" as I will be able to get the camera to be. It's not noticeable at all from both outside and inside the car unless you are looking for it.
