    Just like the title really. I like the thought of getting all the guidance notes but is it worth it or would a copy of the aforementioned books suffice?

    Hardwiring a dash cam - not enough power reaching device?

    I've bought a new (to me) car and the location of the cigarette lighter socket means it's better for my old dash cam to be hard wired. Handily there was a Youtube video of my exact model of car and on the face of it it's a very simple install - £10 kit from Amazon, remove an accessory switched...
