Thanks.


In the end I gave up with trying to tap the fuses in the footwell fuse box - I found a permanent live in there (the tilt sensor fuse) but could not find a switched live - only circuits that went off after 30 mins.


In the end I wiretapped the green/white line from the overhead console, and the red/brown from the same bunch for my permanent live feed. Now my dashcam can operate in parking mode (powers up and records if there's an impact). The hardwire kit has a selectable cut-off voltage to avoid running the battery flat. Most of the units cut out at 11.6-11.8v which is way too low. I have mine set at 12.2v which seems more reasonable.
