Need a "power with ignition only" fuse at glove box

derek7467 · 07-12-2016, 02:37 PM

I have 2010 BMW 328i and will be installing a dashcam. I plan on wiring it down the A-Pillar into the fuse block. Which of the mini fuses that are 10amp or less are ignition powered on only? I basically want my dashcam to turn on with when the ignition is turned on and off when the car is off.

I could use a MM and test it, but I figured someone here would know better. Thanks!

Use an open fuse slot with a fuse tap and an inline fuse
