Hi,

Looking to hardwire my Viofo dashcam.

I have got the Viofo HK5 hardwire kit and have looked at the other topics, but my Sportline doesn't have a rear wiper fitted.

I have attached a photo of my fusebox, would be of great help if someone would point out the best location for the fusetap.

For my Fabia I just used a multimeter to test which fuse had permanent 12V for the perm (red usually) line, and ACC/Switched 12V for the ACC (yellow usually) line.

As above, you need to probe for a suitable 12v live or switched line. Also worth checking the slot where the rear wiper fuse would have been if present, in case it's wired up for power (it may well be even with no wiper fitted).

I'm doing a dashcam hardwire on my own Superb III on Easter Monday, and I also do not have a rear wiper. I'm hoping the rear wiper fuse socket is wired, to save me having to hunt for an alternative.

Could you post up if that empty socket has power or not please

If I get round to doing it, i will, but I would suggest not waiting for me and checking yourself. Your car and mine may well be wired differently, so my findings may not apply to all.

I hardwired a Nextbase dash cam in my MY2020 SEL Hatch with no rear wiper. Used fuse 47 which is switched and works great

Hope this helps

It does. Fuse 47 is the rear wiper fuse (and thus would be switched). Good news that yours was still wired up even without the wiper.
