Default Hardwire Dash Cam

Hi All,
I did a search and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know of a writeup or tutorial on how to hardwire a dash cam (or radar detector)? Preferably piggy-backing off the interior light but to the fuse box is OK too. Thanks!

Don't use the interior light since its only hot when the door switch is activated

If you go to Youtube, you can do a search for "Lexus Hardwire dash cam" and there are three videos. Nothing specific about the SC, but there are some good ideas you can piggyback on.

I have my cobra radar detector (circa 2002) piggybacked off the drivers side fuse box, connected to the instrument cluster fuse. i ran the wire up the door column pilar along the inner grove of the weather stripping. Might be an option for you. I keep my radar in the corner near the drivers side A-pillar where it meets the front glass windshield. Easily hidden from view from an officer who approaches the car at drivers side due to the A-pillar (detector has VG2 stealth guard- no reping to radar sensor).
