How long is the power cable? Is it long enough to route around the windshield? Any tips on routing the cable will be appreciated.

The cord is 6ft long. I was able to hide the cord in the headliner, down the side molding, and under the dash to my power source in the console. I have a full size pickup.

Routing the cable depends on the vehicle you are putting it into. The Genius comes with a plug for the cigarette lighter and on both vehicles I installed the camera, I was able to push the wire between the windshield and the plastic molding. I followed the wire down the windshield to the bottom of the doorpost and then was able to push it under the door weatherstripping until the bottom of the dash. From there I found a way to route it under the glove box to the center console. Now the only wire that shows is from the plug in the cigarette lighter to where it goes under the dash (about 6"). It takes a little patience and innovation to hide it neatly. Routing the cable depends on the vehicle you are putting it into.

Hard to say. It's pretty long; it can reach from the cigarette lighter in our car, out the window, and to the ground. I would guess 10 feet, at the minimum.

It is maybe four feet long. I have it plugged into a socket in the center console between the seats, routed down the console, up and over the steering wheel to the dash. It should easily reach from an ash try to the dash.

It came with a long 12v cigaret lighter cable for me. I put this cable on the top passenger side windshield, going down along the door, and cross under car mat. It's long enough for my car.

I tucked my cable in the seam between the windshield and the frame of the car. I put a DAB of rubber cement several places along that seam to KEEP it in that seam and it is NOT visible from the outside of my car.

Probably 6-7ft. I drive a Tundra and had enough cord to run from my rear view mirror, down the driver's side pillar, then down to the fuse box area. And I had extra. It provides plenty of length.

You can run the cord up and around the trim of the windshield, but my father in law just has it hanging down. Works really well, he likes it.

The power cord was long enough to run it up under the dash and along the windshield all the way to the rear view mirror, I did not have get a longer wire. I should also let you know, I have a Hyundai Santafe SUV

It is actually very long, but I didn't measure it of course so I'd say the 20 feet spec is correct. I only had to run mine about 5 feet, so I had 15 feet of excess to hide under the dash.

About 4ft long. Pretty of length from windshield to cigarette lighter outlet

The charging cord is really long I haven't measured it personally, but its long enough to charge while I have gps mounted to front window. Even when its mounted I still have a lot of wire left that hangs.In your situation I have no doubt that it will extend to the driver side because thats were mine is kept majority of the time.

Long enough. I have a suburban , and the cable runs along the edge of the windshield and under the dash. I paid 25 , had a pro do it , so it turns on when I turn on the contact . Amazing cam

Its short. Just remembering my install if you have to access power more than one foot away from the device you wish to use it on you will need to add length to the power supply end rather than the output side. I used it to power a GPS on a scooter with the need for only about 2 feet and it was too short as it was shipped. I simply added supply side wire. It then worked fine. Good luck.

I do not believe the device is meant for outdoor use. The cable from your computer to the device is USB 2, and some 6ft in length. I suppose a coax cable could be attached between the device and antenna to extend it beyond the Faraday cage of your motor home. Are you planning on WIFI mooching?

It's been a while since I installed it, but I believe the wire is 8 feet long. I only needed about 4 feet because it is installed over the windshield near the drivers door A-Pillar with the sensor attached to the door frame just above the lower hinge. Wanted the sensor where it would pick up outside temp, but not be subject to wind chill. So - So part. I'm sure their are better.

About 10" long but very hard to bend. It attaches to the windshield steadily.
