My guess would be connect it to the positive of the dash cam, but not entirely sure.  Either might work, as the sub is probably just looking for a change/spike in the current to trigger the switch.

If it were me, I'd wire in an in-line on/off switch that I control myself...though that might be kind of annoying in your DD, might forget sometimes, etc.

TL;DR, I'm not of much help.  Try it, see what happens.

LOL I'm very much of the same mindset- wife may or may not like manual on/off switch, she drives Mav to work most days. (I drive when we're together, or if it's definitely going to rain she or I will take minivan (instead of me driving Miata).

Bought a cheap sub for our Mav (which was supposed to have the upgraded stereo with extra speakers and sub but dealer messed up the 22-23 transition).

I have it all wired up and working but the high-gain inputs (tapped front speaker wires) is supposed to trigger it turning on, but it never turns off when the stereo turns off.

I have a dashcam wired to back window, I could splice that wire for the blue wire "input signal" for the sub. But would I connect to the positive or negative of the dashcam?...

Yes forgive my cheap engineering- I used the existing bracket behind the back seat with the cheap ($150) sub. Sounds pretty good but I don't want the battery dead from the sub always staying on....

If you order a black limo in Europe, like as not a luxury minivan will show up, probably a Mercedes Sprinter type thing, with all the leather, captains' chairs, twiddly bits and trimmings.

(I had a big gripe with one I rode in in London. This particular one was configured with a couple of rear-facing seats - guaranteed to induce motion sickness)

The vestigial door mirrors are laughably bad. The Feds should drop the "it has to be mirrors" mandate, as they did in Europe a few years ago.

The base model isn't available yet. Base model has a starting price of $61 grand. As of February 2024 they were only delivered to 4 states. If you go to the Tesla website right now and try to order one, the earliest delivery of any version of the Cybertruck is 2025 which is 8 months from now.

So no I don't think it unfathomable that they sell 100 thousand a year in 2025.

I don't think they will (mostly because price is still too high and probable supply chain issues).  My guess is 1/3 that number.  More than the Rivian R1T and Hummer EV.

Well at least Lexus knows what it looks like when you take their waterfall grill too far
