Can I buy a dashcam and replace it with my GPS?

Hi all,

I have a Seat Ibiza (2013) and for years I have been using my phone for gps. I don't use the GPS on the car device.
Now I'm looking for a new dashcam and it would be perfect if I could find a dashcam that can replace my gps device so it gets power from the car without any cables.
Do dashcams exist with these kind of brackets/mounts/adapter like my gps device?
Can't seem to find them.

There's nothing like that on the market that I'm aware of.

The pins which supply power are present, so in theory it would be possible to make something, but in reality it's probably not worth the time and expense.

It's quite easy to get power to a dashcam from the fuse box on an Ibiza, and the cables can all be run along the door seals/head lining without too much hassle. That's probably your best bet I'd say.
