Yes it's easy.. just pull away the rubber trim round the top and side of door and firmly pull the A post trim away from the top... No need to remove the bottom end... Feed the wire underneath the front head lining and down the A post UNDERNEATH the airbag.
Remove the fuse box side panel... and front access panel... I also removed the complete front panel... Just three screws hold it... Two under the side panel and one underneath at the other end...and pull it off... Makes the job a lot more accessible.

I bought the Nextbase hardwire kit but it doesn't contain a Micro2 fuse holder. Worth noting if you have a Nextbase cam and are planning on buying the kit to hardwire into an i30N. I called Nextbase and they offered to send me out a Micro2 holder and fuse for the dashcam at no cost.
Genuinely just noticed that, may mess with my OCD slightly.. damn.
It doesn’t really matter that they are upside down, must have been how they installed at the factory, or on the alarm installation.

dam right not looked at mine but they will all be the same way before i even start lol, while your here the negative from the wiring was it the black bolt in the pic?
Correcto; as soon as you take that side panel off you can see it, best one as it’s right into the chassis.
Thanks was not sure if the black bolt was painted, may attempt this tomorrow if the weather plays
Yeah not impressed wanted to do dash cam and 3d plates today....bah NE weather well still going out for a drive lol
Nice guide Dan very helpfull.
I went to install my Cam today, however didn't realize how hard it is to find Micro Blade 2 Fuse Taps in stores. I've tried all the Auto Elec places.
Seems they sell them but not in the Blade 2 size.
Sure there's other ways around it but I do like the Tap idea.
I've manage to find some on Ebay but really wanted to get the install done today. Ah well

Thanks for the guide, going to attempt this weekend as I'm sick of the sat nav cable flapping about. Couple of questions:
1) Are there any special techniques for getting the door seals out and in without damaging them?
2) My camera has a motion detection standby mode so will be good to keep it powered at all times, the hardwire kit has voltage detection so will cut out after the car batter drops below 11.6v which seems a bit low to me. Anyone think this is a bad idea?

I can answer point one, gentle tug the seal come out a track in the door and go back on the same way 30 sec max to pull them off carfully

11.6v should be OK for summer although have mine set at 12V... .the other option being 12.5 v on mine.
Start by pulling the rubber away at the bottom of A post door radius... And pinch the channel tight in the rubber before refitting it.

The door seals and fairly robust just pull and they will slide off, I’ve fit hundreds of dash cams and have never damaged a door seal.
Thanks for the guide got it installed with no problems.
I pulled on the top of the A Piller to unclip the first clip, made it easier to carefully pass the wire under the air bag. A set of trim tools made it simple.
Attached some additional pictures in case it helps anyone
