Does any one make a dash cam that does not have wires hanging down? Maybe a Bluetooth or something. I can’t find any.

All you need to do is buy a hardwire kit. Tuck the wiring behind the trim along the top of the windshield, behind the a-pillar trim, and grab power from the fuse panel by the passenger feet.

You can wire it off the rear view mirror power, off pins 8 and 13.

I have one of these https://www.escortradar.com/products...cky-atc=bottom hooked up to my Escort radar detector, all powered off the mirror power wires I previously mentioned. The cord from my mirror plugs into the camera, then the camera plugs into the radar detector and this powers everything. Both of these connect to my phone via Bluetooth so I can view videos on my phone and save them to my phone if I need to, when the radar detector is connected to my phone, it allows me to customize the settings from my phone.
