For installing a dashcam, the powercord is small wire and can be run along the edge of the headliner to the down post, I've never had any problem with it falling out. Then run the wire down the window post to under the dash and run through there to the accessory socket. If it's further back on the center console, you might have to run the wire along the edge of the carpet and go under the seat. I've had mine in 3 different cars. Two had plug-in under the dash at the front of the console and one I had to go under seat because it was further back under the armrest. When going under the dash, use a couple of ty-wraps to hold it in place. Down the door frame between the post and dash, I use something sticky to keep the wires from moving around. I found using just one side of velcro is very good, it holds in place well, especially after the door has been shut on it a few times.
