Hi all,
Having installed my dashcam about 18 months ago, I STILL struggle to find a decent combination of fuses to power it off. I need one that is on permanently and one that is switched with ignition - but I'm completely unable to find a combination that does this. Currently I'm stuck with a setup that turns itself off when the stop/start kicks in, which isn't ideal. All the fuses I can find in the fuse box are switched with ignition. The only thing I haven't tried yet is using the power socket fuse in the alternative position to provide always on - mainly because I'm using it for my 'switched' feed in the other position at the moment, and my 'always on' wire has a mini fuse attachment currently!
Does anyone have definitive information on which fuses are good to use for each job? I have a nasty suspicion that to get an always-on feed I'm going to need to run a wire to the other fuse box under the bonnet, but I hope that isn't necessary.
