Can anyone suggest a good way to hide the USB cabling? The one reason I don't use dash cam is the ugly cabling part from the charger ports to the dash cam. Hope new cars may have USB ports close to top or bottom of the windshields.

Use cable clips.

It's a little suspect with these no name, ie likely to pay shills, companies.
Upvotes are anonymous and easy to manufacture.
Not saying ALL TUs without comment are suspect....but not many name brand/known seller posts get boosted this popular without some discussion. It happens, but not often.

re cable management:
most of the time you can tuck the cable behind the trim pieces both above the windshield and beside. youtube it for clearer instructions. as mentioned above, an adhesive clip is sometimes handy to have where the cable goes to the camera for added strength/prevent pullout

I tuck it behind the headliner then run it down the A pillar. If you have a USB port, run it under the dash and zip tie it to keep it from falling down by your feet. If you don't have an open USB port, get a add-a-circuit and tape your accessory fuse.

Most cars you can tuck it under the fabric that touches the window... then of course you'll have to tuck it in the grooves under the feet area until you get to the cigarette lighter.

I did what the others mentioned, ran it down the edge of the windshield, tucked it in the pillar to the side of my dash, then hooked it up to my obd2, but they also have dash cam fuse tap.

search these terms on amazon "dash cam obd2" or "dash cam fuse tap"

you'll see what im talking about.

If you have a powered rear view mirror you can buy an adapter.

awesome deal for a dual dashcam. i have the apeman one but thepermanent sticky one not these suction cup square ones. buy for personal insurance because your motor v insurance can screw you over as they have done to me in the past.
