Personally it's not something I want to do myself, but that's more laziness than lack of ability. I decided to just depend on the drive recorder covering me for now, although I still might add a true dash cam down the line.

I have a Blackvue cam installed. It’s excellent.
It’s a walk in the park to route the cable from - the front mirror, along the headlining, behind the air bag wiring, down the A pillar along the floor, under the rear seat to the boot where you can easily connect to the battery, a good earth and an ACC fuse.
To enable parking mode, buy the additional battery pack. Unlike the old power pro unit, this will protect the car battery and records for a coupe, of days.
Be aware some rear cams can affected the DAB reception.
