Which part of CA are you in? I installed a front and rear dash cam on my F32 so I can help.

They were blackvue with power magic pro, but the wiring should be about the same.

I thought I saw somewhere you could wire the front cam in to where the centre light is or around the rear view mirror area rather than having to run a wire all the way to the boot?
