Help Installing Dashcam
Excuse my ignorance... This is my first time installing a dashcam. From other forums I have found that I should install my dashcam into Fuse F59. I only want it running when the car is on. The dahscam I have is https://www.amazon.com/BlackVue-DR59...NsaWNrPXRydWU= It's only a one channel dashcam so I am not running any wires to the trunk.
I have the dashcam mounted and the wires all tucked in going to under the passenger seat. My dashcam came with a 12v plug so I am going to have to change that to a fuse. Now to my real question - there is already a fuse in F59 so how would I go about adding the fuse for the dashcam - a splitter or just replace the current fuse? Attached is a photo of my fuses and circled is F59. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! |

Nevermind. I ended up just hiding the wires and plugging it into the rear 12v port. Can't tell there is any wiring from the dashcam or the plug.

Not sure how helpful these pics are. I didn't have to take any panels off or remove the weather stripping I just pushed it in. The white line is the wiring. It basically goes up in the headliner and then down the pillar and the front passenger seat footwell to the rear console.

Splicing it into the rear view mirror cluster wiring is so much easier and cleaner. I used less than 12" of wire total.
