Is a power source available from behind the windshield mirror?

There's that big rubber block behind the mirror - I'd like to tap into something there to power a mounted camera.
Thanks!

I should have premised that question with "easy" -
I've discovered that doesn't work so the wire's going under the dash.

Search for blend mount on here. There is a hot and ground that goes to the mirror. You will need to tap into the wires though.

There is something here that's easy enough to get to (just need the right thin prong connectors to tap them) - https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/thre...ap-for-detector-or-dash-cam.8696/#post-158831

Thanks for reminding me about this. I just installed a Dongar 5-pin adapter to utilize connections behind the mirror cowl like the link above. I had to hack up some of the plastic on the connectors because the keying didn’t match. I believe their 16-pin kit could also have been used without hacking them up.

This is not 24/7 power and only comes on with accessory power in case that matters.

When I previously ran a usb cable to the port next to the charging pad the camera would get power as soon as I opened the door.
