Fitted a Dashcam today and thought I would share the wiring connections to the positive fuse box and ground in pictures . I wired into the cigarette lighter position 32 which is an ignition switch live so ideal using a piggyback fuse . Hopefully you can see which position in the picture . The ground position is behind the dash side panel which can be removed with pry tools . I purchased the camera wiring kit from Amazon which includes everything you need to install .
John, what size fuse did you use for the dash cam itself ?
My dash cam has the plug that goes into the *** lighter but iam going to hard wire it in like you. I should think if you use the *** lighter fuse then the dash cam can run the same fuse as you would be using that fuse if you use the socket. Hope that makes sense
Hi - the dash cam fuse is 3 amp which is included in the Amazon kit along with the piggyback adaptor .
The piggy back goes into the cigarette lighter fuse position . You then place the original cigarette lighter fuse into the piggy adaptor . Then the 3 amp into the piggy back to power the Dashcam . Basically you are using one fuse box position to power two items but they have their own fuse . Hope that helps .
It’s a bit tight in the fuse box so may require some long nose pliers to help .
See the wiring kit I used below . This is required as drops the power to I believe 5v .

I was planned to buy a used car for short term use. So I go for cheap rate deal. I heard that few dealers sold the scrapped car for the lowest rate. Since my usage will be for a short term but it needs a good pickup. So I was wandering to find out how can I check if a car has been scrapped or...
GREAT TIP For the members that are replacing their own cam belt
Although I no longer have the tools I used to undertake my own repairs like
a full engine overall , but here’s a great tip that I would have paid money for.
Has anyone successfully fitted a standard rear bike rack to their Captur? I’ve looked at other forums but they’re out of date now!
I’m probably (definitely) not strong enough to lift two bikes on and off the roof and don’t have a tow bar?
I was looking into this one from Halfords which would...
