    Mercedes C180 - when I wire dashcam it's always on :-(

    Current draw from the camera would be too much from any of the low amp circuits up there in my opinion

    Earth it to one of the 13mm bolts holding the dash on adjacent to the little fusebox inside or any decent thickness brown wire. I always make a direct soldered connection in the fusebox so not sure exactly which fuse you can piggy back onto but its definately in there

    Your fuse should be around 5amp so should be fine

    Bit far away for me to do it for you then as im in ipswich! Once you lift the top of the engine bay fuse box you should easily be able to see the pink/red wire. Think its 1.5mm

    I usually avoid doing it this way as the power will drop out while the engines cranking so the dashcam will flick on and off and have seen this causing problems and faults on some cameras. The pink/red in the fusebox is +12v while engine cranking

    Yes its quite easy and you will only need a T20 torx driver to drop the panel. Were abouts are you?

    You could also use a smartpower switch so you can use the camera in park mode and it will switch off if battery charge drops so as not to drain it
