yeah i was going to do that, but I opened up the plug and theres a small PCB (with probably a step down transformer - the manual says the camera needs 5v not 12v) which i figure needs to stay. might just pickup a spare cig lighter socket form ebay and wire that in, then plug in camera
locked up the brakes in the wet today because an idiot decided his lane was too stationary and he wanted to be in the adjacent lane (mine) in which traffic was moving at 70 odd km/h. ended up within a meter of his rear bumper.
