Has anyone managed to find a switched/accessory fuse in the front fusebox?

I'm installing a front-only dashcam on my M235i using the Garmin Parking mode cable and it requires a permanent 12V supply and a switched one when the ignition/engine is on.

I've tested fuses that I assumed would be switched (12v socket & dome light) and they both appear to be always-on! Has anyone had any luck finding a fuse that is only live when the ignition is on?

Speaking of the ignition, I'm having a difficult time defining when the ignition is actually on (which may be the reason I'm struggling here). In previous push-to-start cars that I've owned the ignition came on when the start button was pressed without the brake pressed. How do you turn only the ignition on in the F44? This might help me get somewhere with testing accessory fuses.
