I'm installing a Viofo A229 dash cam, which fuses or fuse locations in the passenger side footwell fuse box should I use so that the camera switches on/off with the ignition, so an ACC (power when ignition on) and B+ (always power)?
Thanks

 

I am just getting power from 12v cigar socket with USB adapter. Doesn't this work in your car?

 

Yes it does but I want a seamless installation without wires running everywhere. I have this in both my Porsches and it's only a matter of tapping into the right fuse locations and running the wires under the headlining, A pillars etc. Not difficult except for knowing where to plug into.

 

This wil help you find which fuses powers off when ignition is off and find constant live fuses. The tool is called "car circuit tester". Very easy. And you need a piggy back fuse tap. It should be included with hard wire kit.

 

If I had to pick I would choose one of these fuses, either in the left A pillar box or the one under the passenger foot rest area, whatever's easier for you. The fuses shown are for the folding top system, which are not disrupted by any of the quiescent current relays and the circuits should be there on a coupe anyway, maybe without a fuse in them. I would test them for power and just verify they do get juice all the time, but that's where I'd start.

 

If you check the "Dashcam Hardwire" thread it might be helpful.

Perfect, thanks
