Hardwiring my Nextbase Dash Cam

[California_Clarky]

In preparation for my Cali arriving I want to find out the following information so I can put the hardwire kit in for my dash cam - I plan to run it down the side pillar

• Where is the fusebox located
• Which is the best fuse to piggy back from

I have seen some post on here but not sure if things have change or if anyone has found a better way of doing it

Bottom right of the steering wheel. Side pillar is perfect and where I ran mine. Then just take the side cap off and you can feed the wire straight into the fuse area.

Any fuse you like that is a permanent 12V. You need one permanent and one switched, depending on camera. A multimeter is your friend but wait 30 minutes after taking keys out for a switched one as some stay live for that duration.

A right the fuse box is on the right had side behind a panel - which fuse did you use ?

I used the heater fuse, only on when engine is running as our next base has an internal battery.

watch Kevin on tour YouTube dashcam install. Very helpful. you can tuck the cable under the headliner with a trim tool and down the pillow. i just took off the panel on the side of the dashboard so i could feed the cable into where the fuse box is. I used a probe to find a ignition off live and a ignition on live and piggybacked off those. I installed the next base mirror dash cam with reverse sold in Costco worth ever penny.
