Hi,

I just got this PIU a few days ago, and I can’t find a cigarette lighter for my dashcam…the USB works but I can’t find where the power is coming from. Do I have to do the wiring myself or is there a cigarette lighter plug inside that I just have to dig for?

Thanks!

That's an aftermarket console. You'd need to wire up your own power points. The factory ones are low on the dash in the center and probably covered by that console. The big grey plug should have a tag to say what each wire does. I'd suggest hooking up using one of the fuse banks already there.
 






They're referred to as Power Points. ;)

I see, it shouldn’t be too hard a job though right?

As long as you have a basic knowledge of automotive electrical, should be simple.
