Hi,

I’ve installed a dash cam hard wire kit but am unsure which glove box fuse is best suited. I have a keyless Kadjar so without a standard ignition it’s tricky knowing which fuses are always on and which are switched. Ideally I’d like one that’s only live when you start the engine.
I’ve tried a few but the dash cam seems to stay powered even when the ignition is off, car is locked and the keyless card is far away. Any idea which fuse is best to use? I’m thinking maybe the ‘accessories sockets’ fuse?
If anyone’s got one fitted and happy with how it works could you check which fuse it’s connected to?

Thanks

Hi if you use a piggy back fuse, either of these are ignition lives

The one on the left, bottom row next to 15amp fuse is my dashcam. Hope that helps. But both are ign live only. Mine is keyless Auto too

Can I ask how you fed the cable to the fuse box. I.e. what route you took?
Thx in advance

The route is from dash cam on top of windshield by the central mirror through the edge of roof along the windshield, snap out the driver A pillar down to instrument cluster tuck under rubber seal and into fuse box cavity then piggyback fuse folder and ground and you are done.
