    I bought a dashcam that came with it's hardwire kit
    But this has three wires(ACC, BATT, and GND)
    I check installation video for tacoma but they all use two wire kits
    Where does the ACC(Red) and BATT(yellow) wire go?

    Usually you don’t want power all the time to the dash can because it drains the battery so you put the one on the battery, one to a fuse in the fuse box that’s only on when the truck is on, and one to ground. I think that’s how it works, that’s how I wired up my accessory lights.

    I understand but I would like to use the parking mod just in case something happens to my truck while it's off
    Also it's a dashcam so it wouldn't drain that much unless I leave my truck off for weeks
