Dashcam & Valentine One in 458 question-

Go to an auto electronics shop and have them hardwire both.

I have both a radar system and a dash cam hardwired into my Speciale. No issues.

 

On my other cars I usually have dash cam hot wired, that is the best and cleanest method. On my 488 I have not done it yet, it is the same as other cars. Dash cam is #1 priority, don't feel safe driving without it.

My lines are almost hidden, I tucked all the lines away out of sight.

 

I send the dual plug for both iPhone and radar detector. Bought long wire so that I snaked under console to lighter. Works fine

 

Two in one should be fine. I agree I would be scared for someone to mess with the wiring. I have done it on other cars with no issues.

 

Dashcam is pulling about 1A when in use (for 2 channel ones), the Valentine not even half of that (apparently 425mA max). Your cigarette lighter should be equipped with a 20A fuse, and even in the event that it has been swapped with a 10A, or even 5A, you will be more than fine. No issue whatsoever with plugging both through a 2-in-1 kind of adapter (beside the fact that it is ugly)

 

I made a simple socket instead of the cigarette socket.
