Previously tried hard wiring a dash cam (Z-Edge) to my 2016 Camaro using this guide: http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=439766

Worked great but I immediately saw TPMS sensor loss in my front tires. Ripped all of it out and the issues were gone and have been gone for some time. I just decided to try out an alternate brand of camera, a Vantrue R2. This time I would like to avoid hardwiring again since I now suspect that the hardwire kits may have been the culprit throwing off excessive RF interference.

So I think I'm going to stick to using the included power plug with the camera. It has a super long cable for routing around the windshield but I was hoping someone has had some experience doing this already and had anytime to make the core as invisible as possible. I know I can tuck a cord into the headliner rather easy. Its the side pillars and under the dash that have me worried really.
