Hardwire BlackVue Dash Cam

[3er]

2024+ model question: For those of you running a BlackVue dash cam (has both constant and switched power), which fuses did you go with? Sounds like the new fuse panel is a bit of a pain, so any tips are welcomed!

F20 for constant. F53 for switched. Someone use F39, but it was constant in my truck.

I've used this dongle in my previous Raptors and just installed in R...it's easy peasy and works with any camera. No need to deal with fuses:

Unlike Garmin, BlackVue has both switched and constant power. Constant power (records when the ignition is off / while parked) requires you to hardwire to the fuse panel (mirror only provides switched power).

Gotcha...yeah I just bought an Amazon ding dang brand but works great. I would love to have that constant power to keep eye on crooks when off. Pics when you get set-up as I might switch over.

I installed a Blackvue 970XL LTE mounted under the rear view mirror with Blendmount. Camera is powered form 2 Cellink neo batteries mounted under the back seat that powers the camera when the truck of off. Batteries are connected to a 12V ACC fuse in the passenger footwell to recharge the battery when the truck is running. This way my truck is monitored continuously. With the Blackvue app and LTE connection I can pull live view at any time and get notified of any movement around the truck. Video is stored on the cloud and the SD card.
