Dash cam wiring

Looking to wire my dash cam in, I want an ignition live connection. Where’s the best place to wire into?
 
Did you get sorted on the ignition live ? I've just did mine can have a look for you if it helps..
I’ve tried most options listed in these threads over last few days, never had this hassle with last T6. I’m using the piggy back wire kit same as last time, finding the ignition live fuse to use is probing a challenge, prob missing something blatantly obvious… if you’ve a photo of your setup, that would maybe help… or at least you’d think
 
Can't remember off the top of my head but I think the middle row of fuses are ig live. I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow if I think on
Yes you’re right, saw the thread where @Deaky posted a description and a pic, but for the life of me I can’t get it to function. Thanks man, that would be appreciated

T6 or T6.1?

Mines a T6.1 what's yours? I can take a picture in morning for you..
 
T6.1 also… I’ve tried every configuration on here, I’m rather missing something or just being thick.. I basically need spoon fed.!

I’m not understanding the ignition live and permanent live requirement… the piggy back only has 1 wire, and this worked previously as in in my T6.. have into add a wire or need something else?
 
Any fuse in this slot is ignition live

@Deaky this is the photo I was going by.
First I tried the 10A - piggy back into 2nd bay in from the right, put the 10A into the piggy, wire pointing up, then the ground to the body behind the dash, turned key and nothing.

Repeated using a spare slot, 2nd baby from left, 10A fuse left into the piggy at the wire side and the other left empty, ground to the body behind dash, turned key, again nothing.

I’m no electrician by any means but I just can’t suss what’s wrong, previous T6 was plug and play I stand and it’s the same camera being used.

And you've definitely got two fuses in each piggy back. One from the existing circuit and one for the dashcam?

Yes I did when replacing a fuse, but when using empty port I left the one on the piggy empty, the fuse in the one in line with the wire. It’s a nextbase 312GW
