There are some in the fuse box behind the glove box. I am looking to do the same, but only to an ignition live (piggybacking com heating steering wheel fuse). There's also a convenient earth but you will need a 90 degree socket tool to loosen it. Will get my multimeter back out and find a permanent live for you when I next have a fiddle. |

Bertham, mine is a 16 plate 5.0 so I can’t say they are the same... but I have used fuse 49 as a 5amp permanent positive supply and fuse 52 which is a 10 amp switched ignition supply .... hope this helps...

Can you tell what is the name of your fuse nr 49, so I can also taken that one in my RRS |

Bertham, are you sorted now or are you still looking for a source? |

When I installed my Thinkware I took permanent live from the glove box fuse that supplied the horn. Just check your horn works when the key not in. If it does then it’s permanent live

Good stuff, I used 43 for ignition live (heated steering wheel). Useful info for future ref for anyone looking to fit a dashcam. |

Glad to hear that you’ve got a good result. And I’m not trying to labour the point, but my reason for choosing the horn fuse (if it’s permanent live on your models) is that it’s very infrequently used and then only briefly. I calculated that taking power from this one would minimise any stress or voltage drop if say you were using your heated steering wheel and dash cam together. It’s probably not a point worth worrying about but that was my thinking anyway Robin

Dashcam power consumption will be very low. Furthermore if there became a fault with the piggyback add a fuse circuit I'd want to know. I use the heated steering wheel more than my horn, so will notice that more quickly. Just my 2 pence worth.
