[California_Clarky]

I have just picked up my California and want to hardwire a Nextbase Dashcam can anyone who has installed one please advise which fuse they piggy backed off of, I have found picture of installs in a 6 but not a 6.1 as the fusebox seems to be a bit different

TIA

Does your dashcam have a parking mode feed as well as a driving mode feed? I’m sure there is a thread on here somewhere to advise as I searched the forum before I installed a dashcam. I’ll see if I can find a photo I took of my fuseways or if I screenshotted the advice.

This is only powered with ignition on and is the fuse I used for my dashcam.
Fuse 43.

Found my pics of the fuse box before and after install. Without checking, I couldn’t tell you what fuse numbers they were, but hopefully it may help to guide you. One is permanent live (parking mode) and one is ignition live (drive mode). The fuse box is the one to the lower right of steering wheel (RHD).

Hi, I am looking at your pictures of the fuse layout & wondering where you plugged your fuses in. I can see where you have marked where one plug goes by the top green picture, but where have plugged the lower cable into & which is which ?
It took me a while to realise that the top picture was upside dow, lol
Any help would be gratefully received

Rotating the connected feeds image 180 deg, @Paul G -2022 Ocean
you get fuses 40 and 50 being used based on the green numbered diagram.
Paul’s image has no fuse 43 referred to in @California_Ocean post (May just be due to options fitted in each van.
Cannot help with which of Paul’s fuses are ignition switched and which is always live bit should be a simple swap over if the camera stays on all the time

You can see where the installers plugged the switched feed on mine.

Just an update.
Have checked on my 2024 T6.1
All the fuses in this row are permanently live

In the next image all fuses in this row are switched live.

We used the dash heater fan fuse, as it’s only live when the ignition is on.
