12V ACC Wire Near Fuse Box

[propman07]

Hi-

I've done some searching, with no luck. I'm looking for a +12V lead that will be hot when the engine is running/key in the ACC position. I'm trying to get a +12V source for a dash cam that I have installed. I know that I can tap into the ACC wire behind the radio, but I really don't want to tear the entire dash apart to get to it. I was hoping for something closer to the fuse box on the driver's side of the dash. This is where I have run the wires for the dash cam.

I have a 2009 4Runner with the Urban Runner trim package.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I was trying to avoid having to pull apart the center console, and run a wire from the cigarette lighters. I may just have to do that to get the power.

Getting to the radio requires pulling off a few panels but it's by no means hard or time consuming. It only takes a few minutes and no special tools. I wouldn't spend too much time pondering other options.

That depends on how much stuff you have crammed in behind the HU. Thanks for your comment.
