I have searched these forums, general web, the service manuals and the car itself and I still cannot find any place to plug in the accessory service connectors. I understand there should be two, one each near the kickplates. But I have removed the entire front trim including the glove box and still see absolutely nothing resembling a socket that would work.
My rear view mirror is a non-powered model, no autodim or homelink. And there are no mirror connections in the overhead console. I do not have the navigation system. I want to power a dash cam and autodim/homelink mirror. I tried splicing into the cigarette lighter socket for ACC / ground, and then for the always hot I spliced in to the radio wiring to one I thought was always hot. But I think that hot wire ends up turning off at some point because my dash cam is not recording parking videos for longer than a couple hours (I think that's when the dash cam battery dies because the hot wire is not supplying power).
So, please forgive me if there is some place on this forum that already covers it - I just can't find it.
