I plan on trying again over x-mas. It's supposed to get up to 50 or 60 this weekend so I should be able to find a spot somewhere and give it a go (I don't have a good spot to work at home). I have two really nice magnetic-mounted LED flashlights with 'lantern' effects I plan on using so I don't have to keep one in my mouth, like MTMN had to do, hehe. I already have the fuse tap thing and a hardwire kit, I just need to prepare for personal origami so I can reach the fuses.
Oh, anyone have any issues with the A-pillar and popping the trim off? I only found one relevant Ford-related video on YouTube and it advised against taking the A-pillar trim all the way off because of some expensive clip/bracket that would break or there was a chance of triggering the air bag (it wasn't a 2015 Edge but a 2015 f-150). I never had that issue with my 3 previous Fords but my new Edge has a million airbags so I'm trying to be careful. I plan on doing the usual thing where you loosen/remove the screws on the driver's visor mounts to thread the wires from the cam across the top of the windshield and then go down the A-pillar to the fuse box. If this is not the right plan, please let me know.
Dunno what cams you guys are using but I'm very satisfied with the Auto-Vox B40-C ($70-75 on Amazon). I'm still using it in cigarette mode but it has super-detailed video and audio; it even has a crash/save feature where it will save the most recent vid in a protected area if it detects a crash. Not sure if I'm allowed to 'promote' a product on these forums, so please let me know if I'm out of line. I got some other decent accessories I'll post in another folder/thread, if I don't get in trouble.

Hi. I am also having trouble with accessing the fuse box so I can hardwire my dash cam. After reading this thread, I saw what yas meant about the panel being way up on the firewall. No way I can get to that. Anyone have luck with removing trim panels? If so, got a photo pointing to the one you removed? I get nervous doing anything near an airbag, and there's one under the steering wheel.
I tried searching online for videos but came up empty.

I didn't see a thread on hitch accessories so I thought I'd share what I got for my 2015 Edge (with towing pkg):
For some reason, I am unable to copy/paste the direct links to the products on Amazon; let me know if you need more info. If this post is in violation of the terms of service, please let me know and I will delete it. I'm just trying to help/share.
