    Hello everyone, I'm looking to hardwire in a Garmin 55 dash cam using the Garmin parking mode hardwire adapter harness. I have found plenty of documentation online for installing a two wire harness that has an accessory wire and a ground wire. But the garmin harness uses a three wire setup, one for Battery, one for Accessory, and one for Ground wire. I have soldered on an "add a fuse" to the battery and accessory wires.

    I am needing help identifying which fuses would be best that I should use in my fuse box under the dash to wire it in. I need one that is under constant power, and one that would be ignition/accessory powered.

    Thoughts? Thank you in advance.

    I tapped the 15A for ignition and the blank (on the bottom) for constant power when I wired my Thinkware.
