Since the camera uses mini-USB, it runs off 5V. If you wire the USB plug directly into the mirror, you'll fry/damage your camera; the mirror power source is 12V. You'll still need to step the voltage down to 5V prior to connecting the cam. Depending on how big the converter is, maybe you can find a way to tuck it under the mirror wire/stem cover. Or you can grab power from the driver's side fuse box and go up through the A pillar. A little more time consuming and difficult, but then you can just keep the converter as-is by placing it somewhere near the steering column.

Boiled my effin blood, I complain but they say the same damn thing "We'll let the advisers know next time, sorry about that."
As far as the Dash Cam installation, I'm using the Power Magic Pro and followed their instructions.
3 Wires, 1 to Ignition, Radio, ground and it works like a charm.
I read in a thread somewhere, where all 3 were connected in the fuse box, including the ground, not sure if that method worked or not, but there's multiple ways to do this.
The park mode in this feature is phenomenal, I say that because when it rains the sensors turn on within a few droplets of rain and starts recording.
Talk about sensitive sensors...
