Suggestion

Easy, Using a multimeter or lamp tester (faster) check for any fuse that has power both sides with the ignition off, key removed and use that for the constant power supply, While testing note any fuses that do not have power, with the ignition on recheck the fuses that were off and use any of the fuses that are now alive as your switched supply.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm looking to install a Blackvue Dr750s with a Power Magic Pro for parked recording in my 996.2. I'll plug into the fuse box using the 'add a circuit' fuse taps. Those that have done similar what fuse locations have you successfully used for the constant power and Ignition switched power please? Thanks.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone able to please assist?

POST 3Original post

I have no idea on the 996 sorry. I had one in another car and ran the constant through the firewall to the battery. Inline fuse iirc. Great product btw.

POST 4Original post

POST 5Original post

How much power do you need to run when car is off? If so, might be easier to run it up from cigarette lighter?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 331486

The cigarette lighter doesn't have power once the car is switched off. I ended up using fuses D5 & D10 for the install.

Ah silly me! Got confused. It does provide low amp though.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
