How do you hardwire above RVM when your mirror isn't wired/electrical? I'm guessing you can't really conceal the cord any other way?
Thanks.

Run your hardwire under your headliner and down under your driver side pillar to your fuse box :)
The wire isn't big enough lol. I may call whistler to order one then.Quote:

The only power near my RVM is constant (interior lights), I did exactly as stated above and ran a phone cord from the fusebox up the a-pillar and across the headliner.
In my last car (1994 vw jetta), there was a switched 12v present in the overhead light so I just tapped into that with a 2A fused wire and tapped into the ground as well (not ideal, but i wasn't putting a screw through the roof for it lol, or running a longer wire down to the dash)
