Trying To Find Switched Live Above Front Interior Light
Mates I'm trying to find a switched live (15) to take power off for a hard wired in dashcam above the interior light unit. I expected to get switched live from the dimming mirror or rain sensor. I have a batt+ on a red/white cable to the rain sensor, and what seems to be switched live on a...
Cable routing is easy.
Be careful if you are going to cut off your lighter socket plug in thing they usually drop the voltage.
Just a thought…..if it is a Nextbase then you can set the screen to display your speed and this can be in mph or kph.
we found this so useful, especially when in France, that we relocated the dash cam to where we could see it at the bottom of the screen.
probably of no use/interest to you but thought worth a mention just in case.

Also, if you take the dash end panel off and disconnect the air bag switch DO NOT put the ignition on as you will get an air bag warning that will need diagnostics plugging in to remove it!
I’ve fitted a dash cam by the mirror and routed the cable around the edge of the head lining and A pillar. Used a screw behind the end panel for the earth and an ignition switched slot in the fuse panel below the gearstick for the piggy back fuse holder. Make sure you get it in the right way around so power is actually going through the fuse!!

It is a nextbase, xmas present from wife. Coming to end of conversion so want to get it fitted.
Does it need to be permanently live to record any incidents while vehicle is unattended?
The Nextbase has a vibration trigger and will record on it’s internal battery when the key switch is off.
It’s worth remembering that it can also incriminate the owner if they are in the wrong and don‘t forget it’s also recording what’s said in the cab.
