No you didn’t, but you have, and I did.

So are you planning to leave that suction mount there on the windscreen 24x7?

No it’s not on the windscreen, it’s on top of the dash stuck to a carbon fibre plate that is then stuck with double sided sticky pads.
The Möbius is then placed in its custom holder that is screwed via a tripod mount.

Brother got someone to hard wire his.

I put my sat nav on a heavy base in front of it. (The sat nav holder was bought in Halfords.)

Re: Dash cams.

Bought Sue a dashcam yesterday and spent the morning fitting it to here car.
I wanted to hard wire itbut for some reason the piggyback connector didn't put throught the power , but in actual fact a bit of a blessing as it would have been hard to conceal the extra wiring. So I just hid the cigar lighter connecting cable instead.
I have a bifty bit of kit , it is a small neon light on a curly cable with a cigar socket plug on the othr end. So i can easilt tell if the socket is live all the time or not.

So if you were wanting to conceal the wiring presumably that means you were going to conceal the dashcam itself?

What dashcam did you go for?

Yes you can hide it in your pocket when you leave the car.
