Hard wiring Dash Cam and Amazon Auto

[fluffy01016]

I’ve hardwired my Nextbase dash cam into the fuse box on an ignition live circuit

so that it comes on with the ignition. My question is, could I run an Amazon Auto off the same wiring by using a splitter to turn the hardwire kit from one output to two?

 

I was concerned that the 2 devices might put too much current for the nextbase hardwire kit

 

thanks for any guidance

If you're splitting the 12v after the fuse box it'll be fine as they are both low current items.

I’ll be splitting after the box that changes the 12v to 5v for the usb. I was worried that the box that does the 12v to 5v conversion might be overloaded

How much power do the 2 devices draw.

how much can the 12v to 5v inverter put out?

 

these 12v to 5v things are only not all good for a couple of amps

Hmm, I'd say that's a problem. Split at 12v with 2 usb feeds
