Does anyone have any tips on fitting one?

I've got one on the way and would like all the wires to be hidden, which power source did you use?

My front console 12v is a little dodgy so I thought about using the one next to the heated rear seat switch or the one in the boot if that will fit?

My camera is to the right of the mirror so I took the power from the rear power socket and route the cable on left of driver's seat and across and under the door kick plate, Pull off the door seal and route cable up 'A' pillar. using the supplied cable clips across top of screen.

Could anyone shed any light on the difference between the two of these and advise which one I should get?

If you fit the powersave make sure it's done by a pro, it took two attempts by the blackvue engineers, the first was a complete moron.
Luckily the second knew what he was doing and had to undo everything the first one had done........ Be careful, if not done correctly it will kill your battery in the blink of an eye.
