This is why a dashcam is a good idea . . .

So I got my G1W in today and put it in. Everything works great but it appear all the DC power outlets in the car are always on? I tried the one under the radio/MFT and it seems to be always on and then I moved it to the one in my console and the same thing? Maybe theres a long delay before it cuts power to these?

There's a delay. The one that's hidden turns off after 15 or 20 min. Not sure about the one under the radio/MFT.

i can verify that the armrest outlet turns off after 1.5 hours

Thanks that works! I can manually shut it down and it'll automatically start

Unfortunately people still drive like a bunch of bloody wankers over here!

That's a very British term

I wonder if you could use your backup camera as a rear dash cam. I know in my 2012 Focus you could leave the back up camera on until you reached 5 or 10 miles an hour. I have a convertible on order so a rear camera is problematic.

Yes that would be cool. Id imagine the models with adaptive cruise control already have a front facing camera too, be nice if you could tap into those. My wife's odyssey has a front facing camera and there doesn't appear to be anyway to tap into that (easily), may be poor quality though.

Fuse 36 under the passenger kick panel is switched power.

+1. I heard you could attach a rear camera to a roll bar with the verts, but I don't like roll bars so that ain't happening.
