Surprising what you find?
Just upgrading my dash cam and in process of hiding power cable under glovebox I discovered a 12 volt power socket fitted to the glove box under trim. This socket powers and depowers as per the socket adjacent to the cup holders which was what I had used previously for the now upgraded dash cam.
No indication on page 169 of the Owner Handbook that a power socket exists under the glove box.
Also on this under trim is a Harmon Kardon system speaker and what I assume might be some form of sensor connected back into the climate control system?
I had thought of wiring the dash cam to a fuse way as corresponded elsewhere in this forum but as the position of the now found socket renders any plug connected to it vitually unseen I have saved a bit of time and bother I guess.
For the record my vehicle is 2.5d M Sport registered March 2016.
