TomsFocus Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi guys, Not sure if it's been covered, I couldn't find it from a quick search anyway! Basically, are there two available fuses to piggyback switched lives from to hardwire both things? I've seen F108 is used for dashcam hardwire, but I'm not sure if any others are suitable? Also I take it a sat nav cable can be hardwired in the same way as the dash cam one? Electronics aren't my strong point! Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I got stoneys 12v socket added a double USB outlet piggybacked the socket to the fuse box and connected the dash cam etc into the 12v plug hidden in the glove box so they all come on with ignition and switch off stoney has a guide to wire it all and its pretty easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsubtronic Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Just hardwired mine yesterday to fuse 100 (top left). Remember to put your fuses in the piggyback the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Not sure where I got 108 from! Anyway, thanks all, have done the dashcam today, to fuse 100, and all seems to be working. Will get another for the sat nav at some point. :) Already had one hardwire kit Arthur, I didn't know about Stoney's one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Already had one hardwire kit Arthur, I didn't know about Stoney's one!I make patch cables with 12v sockets on one end and a fusetap on the other.10 minute job to install and it gives you an ignition switched socket hidden away under the dash or in the glovebox. I also make ones that are permanent live which piggyback from the rear of existing sockets if preferred. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_bound Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I took 2 USB feeds from the same piggyback fuse tap - just used a standard connector block as a splitter. Then I ran one cable round to the top of the windscreen for the dashcam and the other behind the dashboard to come out in the dashtop cubby for the satnav. The combined power of the two isn't very high so no problems with capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
