Thanks for the hard wire kit link. Initially I’m simply going to use the provided cigarette lighter power cord. Once it warms up a little outside, I’m going to look at my 2 different hard wire options.
The first is similar to yours and would utilize that kit, but there’s a small snag utilizing it on my 2017 Jeep....the fuses are under the hood rather than under the dash, so it won’t be as simple to access power as most installations.
The second option is to steal power from the rear view mirror using 2 pins that push into a wire connector. That’s usually a fairly easy method, but again, the Jeep looks a little tricky since there’s no exposed wiring harness & connector, so it requires removal of some plastic covers to get at the wiring.

One way or another, I’ll get it hard-wired eventually since I don’t want a coiled cord running all over the dash.
