Badlands - need dash power 12v and USB

[Roxxolid]

I have the AR Badlands BMHelp a guy out and point me in the right direction for the parts to do this? I want to be able to get a dash cam and two phones powered off the dash if it is practical. I have the AR BAM/BYODR and a badlands with the mid package so I guess it's up to me to get the power up on the dash.

I believe the mid package has auto dimming mirrors so you can use something like this to power your dash cam. I don't have my Bronco yet and have never tried this but there seem to be a lot of good reviews for it, including the video below from @CUPRA

That's pretty sweet, I might add one of those but I still need power to the rail on the dash for two cell phones and whatever else shows up.

We have a 5A switched 12V circuit on the fuse panel under the dash. It is slot #35, diagram on page 317 in the owner's manual and the description is on page 319.

This is where I powered my dashcam by adding an Add-A-Circuit (size: Mini) and ran the power line up thru the dash, under the A-pillar and windshield trim then down to the cam. You may be able to do something similar with an aftermarker USB panel, there are a bunch of types and styles on Amazon.

It is only 5 amps, but it is a start.
