Default Anyone Have InCar Camera Installed?

Was thinking about purchasing an in-car camera like one of the Blackvues (once I get my A4 up and running and sold). Does anyone have one installed, or any other make for that matter, and if so, how did you wire it in?

I'd like to get one and have it installed between the mirror and windscreen, but was just wondering how you get power to it. Rather than have wiring running around the windscreen and eventually to the cigar lighter, I'd prefer to have it hard wired. The Blackvue have an optional Power Magic, which allows the camera to run in 'Park mode' (switches camera on via motion detection near car).
