Hi
I've hard wired a Nextbase 412 dash cam into my DS3 using a piggy back fuse on fuse 9 the 12v socket. It was my understanding that this fuse isn't a permanent live (I didn't want a permanent live). However, when I plugged the dc in, it came on and started charging, even though the keys weren't even in the ignition. I've also tried it on fuses 5 and 6 (electric windows) and they're all the same. Am I mistaken in thinking Fuse 9 is not supposed to be a permanent live? Can anyone recommend another fuse I can piggy back off that will not be a permanent live?
Help appreciated as I can park my car up for days at a time and I don't want the dc to flatten the battery.
Thanks.
