Where can I get a switched hot lead under dash?
I want to power my dash cam and was wondering if I can gain access to the 12V switched power outlet on the dash or some other switched ignition power.

The cigarette lighter is a popular one. Not sure how much power your cam takes, but you can run it to a relay which will allow you to use as much power as you need.

Check that out. It plugs in without messing with any of the factory wiring. I used it to power my CB so it only gets power with the ignition on. Somewhat pricey, but well worth it I think.

I don't mind tapping into the dash power port wire I just need to know where it is accessible.

I installed one of those harnesses. It literally took 10 minutes to do.
