Installation not as easy as advertised

I definitely like the wiring idea and have experience installing dashcams and the like. There are no instructions included with this kit and while I knew what I was doing it might not have been as easy for others without experience with a tee or safety tap. Inside the box was a small plastic bag with Velcro closure and a T-tap. If you don't know what a T-Tap is, you can watch a YouTube video that shows how to connect the T to a power cord. I'm not a big fan of the T-Tap as you need some electrical knowledge and maybe a voltmeter. to find a live wire. If you look under the dash and behind the center console, there are literally hundreds of colored wires going in all directions. So which one do you associate with? That's why I like to use a fuse. It's much easier and no guesswork. This kit is not included, but you can get it for less than $10 at any auto parts store. Just make sure you get one that matches the panel fuses. Also, the velcro doesn't stick well to every surface I've tried mounting the control box to. It's much easier and no guesswork.
