Hi guys.
I'm trying to reinstall my dashcam properly with a permanent 12V power supply (not switched) piggybacking off of the fuse box and I can't find anything with much help so I thought I'd make a thread. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would rather have a permanent hard wire instead of a switched supply.
The dashcam in question is a nextbase 522GW and I'm using the official nextbase hardwire kit.
1)The piggy back fuse doesnt seem to slot into the host fuse location fully with both new fuses relocated on the side. The two piggybacking fuses make contact with already installed fuses because of nextbase's design for the piggy back housing. (I might be being pedantic about fully plugging the piggy back in here, it's probably plugged in 'enough', but it does bother me that it's not 100% depressed into the fuse plug.
2)Which bloody fuse should I pick to piggy back off of?! There doesn't seem to be an obvious choice. Most people have gone for the cigerette lighter but that isn't permanant supply.
Anyway. I hope this thread answers my question for others to see. I'm going to attach some relevant information here.
PLEASE NOTE: My car is a 2010 Ibiza SC with the 105ps 1.2TSI. I beleive that the fuse diagrams are very dependant on age in this age of ibiza, so if you've got a 2017 this probably isn't going to be much help.
