Going through the fuse panel requires taking the glove box out, which I wanted to avoid, plus newer BMW batteries are sensitive to power drain such as a dashcam running during parking mode, so that necessitates an external battery pack.
The outlet under the glove box, which is never used anyway due to its location, makes for convenient place to connect accessories such as dashcams and radar detectors, and is out of sight at normal viewing angles.
Might have to look at installing on the tailgate mirror eventually if the trim cover comes out easily as mentioned.
