I'm going to wire my dashcam to the fuse box, since I have no USB-C out by the rear view mirror and wiring that up would be just as much work. This is what my fuse box looks like; has anyone else found a suitable socket that has 12V only when the ignition is on?

IIRC the rear wiper fuse has been mentioned before, as has a couple of others on switched circuits.

In case it can help someone in the future, I have identified an empty slot in my dash fuse box that is switched by ignition. I tested most of the empty slots (slots that in my vehicle do not have a fuse, see photo above) and almost all of them are permanently powered with 12V. However, slot number 49 in the diagram from the manual (see below) is only powered when ignition is on. I am now using this for my dashcam.

Hello @beneix,

Have you inserted the missing wire in the Fuse Panel OR have you used a piggy-back fuse wire?

Thank you

@djmartzian I used a piggy-back cable so that I could put a fuse for the dashcam.
