Hooking up dash cam to switched power
 

I have a 12v USB 2 wire module that I want to hook up to a switched power source so the dash cam comes on when I start the car.

Does anyone know of a switched power source in the passenger fuse box?

or another way to turn on the 12v usb adapter when the car turns on?

I forgot where I tapped into for the fog lights (they come on when the car is on) which are on a relay.

I've been thinking of making a run of wires for power, ground and ignition which would be located near the floor vents to have a centralized access point for all 3 items. Fused, of course. I've already got a small run for power and ground for switches, head unit, volt meter, etc. (Head unit is turned on by switch)

does anyone know of a MAIN ignition turn-on point to tap into? Under the hood, inside, kick panel wire, etc??

I generally don't like touching the ignition column wires and running taps off of them if I can avoid it.

fuse #5 is a spare , but verify if it’s switched

Have a look thru this , I think I followed this for my rear view mirror upgrade

All of the empty and spare fuse spots on the BCM are switched an RAP (RetainedAccessoryPower).

What is the BCM?

Bcm?

Body Control Module.
By looking at the fuse location inside the cover you can tell where things get there power from.
As stated before the empty ones can be used.

Thank you brain wasn’t translating BCM. Apparently my blonde kicked in.
