1. Fuse selection 2. Best location for the Cellink battery & how to secure 3. Best route for the cables to avoid air bags 4. Trim removal methods (How to) 5. Any issues, things to avoid |

I'm also interested in installing my BlackVue Battery (B124) battery. I was planning on using the Trunk - F212 Media (fuse) as it is 15amps.
Still have to test if this fuse shuts off - waiting for my tester to come in. It was recommended to use 10amps or higher if using a mini fuse. |

I know unfortunately, when I got the cables, the manufacturer only gave me the Mini fuse tap as they felt I should use that in a BMW (even though asked for the larger fuse type). So I'm gonna try that fuse and if it doesn't work, I'll end up probably using F273 from that previous thread

I have installed the cameras following the guide and I am waiting for the battery to arrive. Decided to put it in the boot area. |

Works perfectly - although just as a note, I was initially concerned as the DashCam battery showed it was still charging when I would check it. I noticed that when the key was near, the car still provided full power to all of the fuses (even after 10 minutes). When I put the key out of range, everything worked as expected - the car shutoff and the Dashcam battery was being used. |

All I can say is that trying to test it was challenging. After 15 minutes of having the car keys on me, it still wouldn't shutoff - only when I moved the keys far out of reach did it work.

I do agree with you in that getting all settings correct is a challenge. I have the install as I want it but I am still learning and I am not sure that the parking mode is working as I want it to work.
