My dashcam has arrived and I want to fit it while the sun is still shining. Which fuse can I use or tap into to ensure it stays on with the start stop and ignition signals?

    I used Fuse 87, it's for the heated steering wheel (which I don't have) but enables the power as it's ignition live.

    I'll use the same then as I don't have that feature either. Some use fuse 3.

    What fuse is 86?

    I've managed to get it working with 87, had forgotten to attach the black cable to the car.
