But if someone can confirm the right wiring is behind the glovebox even for a car as stripped as mine, I'll tear things apart to get to it.

Alternatively, is there anything switched up top by the rear view mirror? That's likely to be where the cam will be mounted, so it would actually be easiest.

Really hoping to ride someone else's coattails on this one.

If your X didn't come with a flashlight, you don't have the receptacle in the glove box for the flashlight, however, the wiring for the receptacle is probably behind the glove box. My X didn't come with the flashlight, but I installed the flashlight receptacle and bought a flashlight for my X.
