Fuse number for dash cam 2006 CLS

[Hillman]

Hi all. Would anyone know the fuse I need to use for a switched live so I can hard wire a dash cam? It's going in a 2006 CLS 320cdi, many thanks in advance for any help. Cheers Paul

You can buy a female ciggy lighter socket with wires attached and connect it to the wiring of the existing ciggy socket and then hide it all at the rear of the fascia. This allows you to not cut any dashcam wiring . I did this on the CLK .
On my E class I ran an extended cable into the boot fuse box and used an empty fuse way that was for a rear wiper (that’s not on my car ) , this advantage was that it’s ignition live only.
I couldn’t find an ignition live on the front of my E class fuses .

wire of the back of the ciggy lighter - it is a switched live
