Wiring assistance

Ok ladies and gents. I need some wiring help here for my garmin dash cam. Running the wires is not a problem. (thanks @aelarson ).

I get ground is ground but how should I wire the ACC and BATT.

Id like to connect everything inside the car and avoid running the wire to the battery if that is even possible.

Go to your interior fuse box, find a fuse always hot (batt) and a diffetent one that is not when they key is in the accessory position. Use add-a-circuits on those fuses. That's the easy, all interior way.

You will need to cut holes in the fuse box lid.

The cover is already off the fuse box. What size add-a-circuit and does the ACC get one and the BATT one as well?

Do you by chance have an aftermarket head unit?

As far as fuse rating I would guess that a 5A spot would be fine, I dont imagine a camera would draw much current. Does the label on the wiring specify voltage and current?

All stock radio on an '18 OR.

The vehicle power cable says:

Input: 10V-30V 1.5A
Output: 4.75V-5.35V 1A
Fuse Spec: 250V 2A

The black wire which contains all three reads 300V on the side.

Those will all work since they're all above the units rating. It also appears to have an inline fuse already installed on it so that will go before the any of the fuses on your box.

To find which is constant or switched supply you'd need to measure the leads on the fuses with the vehicle turned off.

I just did this last saturday. The parking mode cable is awesome.

Anyway, you'll need (2) ATM fuse taps. I ran my garmin parking mode cable across the headliner, down the a pillar, and in to the fuse box. I chased the wire from the headliner down through the plastic conduit for the rearview mirror. Really nice seamless installation. I installed the Garmin 55.

Make sure you have the fuse taps oriented the right way.
I can take a photo tomorrow if you'd like.
Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions.

Here's what I used:

here's the pic incase it helps someone else out down the road. This is from the brake pedal looking toward the outside of the vehicle.


When it comes to fuse taps, there's a hot side, and a fused side. I determined which was which in the fusebox with my multimeter. What this means is that you'll want to take note of the orientation of the wire that leaves the 'add a fuse' tap with respect to the fusebox in the photo I post.

Here's a brief description:
https://www.blackboxmycar.com/blogs/...add-a-fuse-kit

The fuse slot closest to the bottom of the fuse tap is for the original accessory. The one at the top, adjacent to the wire that leaves the fuse tap, is for your accessory, in this case a dash cam. I like to use a lower capacity fuse for the accessory. IE: if the original fuse is a 10A for a vehicle outlet (let's say), I'd use a 7.5A fuse in the top slot of the tap for my dashcam.

Wire management was tricky, just because of the space involved. I found it helpful to press the emergency brake pedal down. I tied up the excess wires with tie wraps (there wasn't a lot, maybe an extra 16" of wire), and attached the small square box on the garmin parking mode cable to the side of the plastic fuse box in the vehicle. I used 2-sided tape for this.

Please note, I used the 7.5A "ACC" slot for my garmin 'acc' lead, and not the "P/outlet" that I showed in the diagram in an earlier post.


Kudos to Antman, as I found all this information on his build thread.

Where did y'all ground it? There's a good spot readily available, but it looks like it might be aluminum. Is the bolt attaching the fuse box good?
