    Hi everyone,

    I'm looking for some advice on which fuse to tap for installing my Dashcam, a Viofo A119 V3.

    Initially, I considered tapping into the Radio fuse, but I've heard that some safety systems communicate through the infotainment system, so I'm not sure if that's a safe option.

    I also thought about using the TV fuse, but I couldn't find much information on whether that's advisable either.

    Ideally, I want the dashcam to have constant power so it can run even when the car is off. However, I'm concerned about the possibility of draining the 12V battery.

    Could someone recommend the best fuse to tap into for this setup? Any tips on avoiding battery drain while ensuring the dashcam has sufficient power would also be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for your help!
