is there a fuse box inside the cabin?

[Topplayer]

I am looking to see if there is a fuse box in the cabin, or a good power source that runs when the car is off. I am looking to run power for a dash cam, track camera, and a Radar. I KNOW there is a power plug for the mirror but for the dash cam I want to power when the car is off ( going to use a battery saver adapter so I wont have to worry about dead batt)

Thanks for the help in advance!

You could just run a power wire from the battery with an inline fuse. The battery is extremely accessible.

Yea, no fuse box in interior that I know of. Tap into the battery and run wire under carpet. Put a fuse on it though.

Any guides on how to run a wire from the batt to the front?

I am sure I can figure it out, but a point of reference would be great.

Off hand I don't remember the routing I took but I don't remember it being tough. Routing would also depend on where you mount your dash camera. Just don't be drilling the bulkhead between the trunk and the front seats, remember the gas tank is under there somewhere. You can also run the wire to the Fuse box in the engine compartment (the PDC as it is called). That is how the shift light mounted to my A pillar is wired.

Your best method would be to pick up switched power at the fuse block and run it into the cabin. Littel Fuse makes a product called"add a fuse".

I am very familiar with add a fuse, is there a easy path from the engine bay to the cabin?

P.S.
I will not be drilling ANYTHING. Everything I do has to be 100% reversible or I will not do it.

You can tuck the wire under the trim panel covering the inner rear brake ducts(it extends into the battery well), as well as under the door sill trim, then you're under the dash with many paths to choose from. As long as the wire you use is smaller gauge, it will fit nicely under most trim pieces.

This method, the wire may stay put, or may become visible dropping out from under the door sill trim. The more permanent way would be to pull the door sill trim off, only a few clips.

There are existing rubber grommets/plugs on the firewall

Out of curiosity, are you using a BlackVue camera with the Power Magic pro? Several people have still come out to a dead battery when using it. Just want to make sure you know that before finding yourself stuck with a dead battery. I love my DR650, dashcams should almost come factory IMO!

[Topplayer]

yea a Blackvue. But I don't plan to leave it on 24x7 going to be just leaving it on for when I leave it at shops and stuff. maybe a 24 hour timer maybe 48hr.

I will have a back up battery pack in the car at all times after installing this .

My 2014 GTS has constant power to the 12V outlet beside the cupholders. I had left my phone charger plug in and noticed the green LED still on after locking her up.
