I am looking to hardwire my DASH cam into my new F40 2 Series GC. As then it won’t be plugged into the standard cigarette port…

However, I have no idea what I’m looking at when it comes to fuses and where it needs to be plugged into. 1 wire needs to go into a ACC fuse port, and the other wire is BATT, so when the engine is off it doesn’t take power from ACC and the battery only…if that makes sense

I have attached images with hope someone can help me

I used the empty fuse 40 slot for 12V/VBATT cable and fuse 62 for ACC (switched) cable.

This setup works fine with my Viofo A129 Plus (the ACC shuts off after about 10-15 minutes from turning off the car, which puts the camera into the parking mode).

(don't mind the mess in the photo, this was just a "during install" shot, i've tidied up the cables after that )

You are an absolute legend, couldn’t have asked for better advice. The photo also massively helps as it’s exactly the same as my fuse box 👌🏼 also, did you have to get a fuse adaptor? As I assume the fuse sizes weren’t the same fit?

Do you remember what fuse sizes the fuse slots were (fuse 40 & 62)?

Sure,

the fuse 40 is an "ATS" (or "MINI", but regular mini, not "low profile").

Fuse 62 uses a larger type called "ATC" (also known as "regular" fuse ).

Thank you. I’ll try that.
