Hi all,

I'm trying to work out which fuses behind the glovebox I need to tap into in order to run a dashcam hardwire kit. Can anyone shed any light on which fuses might serve my requirements? The maximum draw is only going to be 1.2A.
TIA

I would go for the utility socket one, however, have an inline fuse installed near the source of your supply with say 2A fuse installed. This is to try and protect the cable if there is a fault regardless as to whether there is a dedicated fuse installed for the camera.

An example Here
Obviously I need to point out potential Warranty Issues if something goes wrong and Renault are looking for a way out!
To make this kind of connection you should seek the services of a suitably qualified Auto Electrician.
