Dash cam - which fuse ?

I use the 12V connector in the boot, feed the wire into the above door trim back and front. Totally unobtrusive, mostly invisible, super easy to remove when I ever need to, front power & USB free for anything else

Did think about this, but decided against it as I’ve got curtain airbags…

And the cable isn’t long enough to route along the floor / cill from the boot. Going to have a look at weekend if I can find a longer lead…

Volvo fitted mine, the lad had done one before, took 3 hrs.
He used the Front Seat adjustment fuse cos it goes off with the ignition.
Its in the fuse box under passenger seat, one of the difficulties was finding a fuse that went off when the ignition was off/

My dealer will only fit the one that they sell - which is not the one I want. They also recommend against connecting it through the fuse box - only recommend using the cigarette lighter.

Interesting, now I wonder if that’s due to trying to find fuse etc, as has been discussed - or the fact that it’s so much quicker and easier to just plug it into the 12v socket ???
