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.

If anyone else comes across this I connected the accessory terminal to the 12v socket fuse - it goes off a few minutes after locking the car.

Which fuse did you use. I have just took delivery on a new f44 and want to install my dashcam, just can’t find a fuse diagram anywhere

I have recently installed a nextbase dashcam using fuse 64 as in the F40 thread linked above. Can anyone tell me what this fuse is, it’s shown as MAP in the thread but just interested what I was tapping in to.

It seems to work OK and switches off after 15 mins

Thanks
