I used fuse taps to tap into the cigarette lighter fuse below the steering wheel
Took a bit of effort to route the wires behind the A-pillar airbag (rather than across it)
I can send photos if you want

I'm running a 4k 2 channel dashcams, i hid them around the edges and the top of the doors, it was very easy to install, you just need those plastic flat head remover thing lol. As for hardwire, it came with a parking module connected to my fuse, it was working well for 2 years until it caused some electronic interference in my car and then it died. After that I was looking at the dashcam battery from the supplier but it was like 300-400$, so I just got a PD powered battery bank charges and boot up the dash cam at the same time for much less. I might get the oem dashcam battery in the future but for now it's not a bad fix.

Didn't pull the full A-pillar off.
Most of the cables can just be pushed behind all the fascia and panels easily
