Hi
New to this forum. My wife has just bought a new 2017 Pulsar 1.2 NConnecta and she is very pleased with it.
I want to wire in her dash cam so that it picks up an ignition live feed using piggy back connectors for the fusebox.
The handbook doesn't give much fuse info, has anyone done this? If so, which ignition live feed and fuse number did you use?
Thank you

This is the fuse you need to use.
Its a blank slot which is live with the ignition.
I have noticed that you cant push the fuse add on in all the way but it is very secure and I have never had any problems.

Thank you, @mrrichmond1995!!!

I use a mirrored one similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9AGLXeA2iA

It is good stuff, but (as always) be careful with Chinese electronics: they often contain spyware, mine is able to generate >1GB traffic per day if it is on wifi or 3G
And no way to block them as it can not be rooted, and the VPN is blocked so you're not able to install a good firewall

Glad it was helpful! Never been keen on those android wifi dashcams.

Does anyone know what fuse i can tap into for a constant live feed (ignition off)? I need it so i can run my Power Magic Pro to supply my dashcam with power whilst the ignition is off for parking mode

Want to hardwired dashcam, it says 5 volt for power supply, it that fuse in picture 5 or 12 volt.
Sorted now, ordered a full kit off Amazon for £9.

How do you conceal the power lead from the camera to the fusebox?
