I forget now which fuse I used but it definitely fits, because that's how I got my dash cam wired to shut off with the car not running. Yes access is extremely painful, requiring contortionist-like moves, but doable (though you won't be able to put the fuse box cover back on anymore). I'll check exactly which fuse number I tapped into in a few days when I can get back to my car, but visually it is towards the middle.
Wanting to install Dash Cam with parking mode enabled.
Hi all,
I have a 2016 Ford Taurus Limited. I am trying to install a dash cam (70mai Dash Cam Omni) to my vehicle to always be on, that way I have parking mode enabled, and it's always able to record. This company wants you to hardwire it to the fuse box, however it appears to be impossible. I purchased the hardwire kit, and a fuse tap for low profile mini att fuses. However, it does not appear to fit due to the way the passenger side fuse box is. I am running out of idea's on what to do... Right now, I just have it plugged into the car charger, however it doesn't turn on and off with the car nor enables parking mode. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t expecting a response. Glad to see this forum not dead yet. Did you wire to the driver side fuse box or under the hood fuse box? I know under the hood is doable. I was trying to keep it inside though, as I’m not sure how I would wire it outside under the hood, where I could route the cables to?I forget now which fuse I used but it definitely fits, because that's how I got my dash cam wired to shut off with the car not running.

Tapping into existing circuits is also an option.
