Fuses for ACC and always on MY26 X5 50e

08-14-2025

Hi all
I havent got it yet ....but am prepping for the arrival of my 50e.
I will want to install a dashcam , so would like to ask what fuses people out there use, in the front left fuse box .... ( or somewhere else if it is better.

I really want parking mode to work so will need to do the hard wire version rather than connecting to the rain sensor power which the likes of Fitcam suggest.

I saw an article on here where someone used a feed on the canbus...dont really want to start cutting cables like that....just want to use the fuses piggy back plugs which fit into the fuse box,

Any suggestions ?
TIA

good luck. most folks run into continuous notifications and power draw issues because of the sensors and BMS in this vehicle. IOW there’s no straightforward and convenient way to tap into power now that today’s vehicles have become rolling computers. have you considered using an external battery such as the Blackvue system instead of hardwiring to the vehicle power supply ?

Actually , I'm thinking about getting the dealer to install the BMW Dashcam whihc is a rebadged Thinkware 3000...one of the best !

Have something to add?
