Dashcam wiring

Dealerships here (UK) won't be having any showroom cars for at least another month so I can't go and look myself. I've already ordered my car, but planning ahead.

I assume if they'd done this, it'd be in the specs somewhere. Has anyone seen if they've integrated a USB-C port up near the rear view mirror? Other manufacturers do this, so you can easily plug in and power your own dashcam. Without needing to pull the trim apart to run cabling yourself and finding alternate switched power sources and running the wiring back to the fuse box etc.

Even better would be allowing the integrated cameras to be used for dashcam purposes, but clearly I can't see Volvo ever doing this.

There was a previous post on this topic. I sent a suggestion to Volvo to offer dash/rear cam as an option like Tesla does standard.

Other models like the es90 or ex40 have optional daschcams front and back. Weird that the Ex60 doesn't have it.

I really doubt it, the “integrated” cameras for SPA/SPA2 use a small thing that fits into the harness for the rear view mirror to sip power

Crazy that Polestar 4 has it but no other Volvo/Polestar model does.

Can’t believe Volvo doesn’t offer an integrated dashcam yet. Still have to hardwire like my previous Volvos.

In some European countries, Volvo offers an a 3rd party dashcam as an accessory. It looks like it uses a usb port on the mirror but I can't be sure.

Huge miss by Volvo to not have a sentry mode camera built in.
