    2015 X5 - Fuse Block Question

    Currently installing a new dashcam in my X5. Need to connect to a fuse that is always powered. Unfortunately, finding a fuse diagram has been extremely difficult. Nothing in the vehicle (no paper in the back fuse compartment), noting in the owners manual, nothing online.

    Anyone able to define the number and location of a fuse that is always powered, such as hazard lights or taillights?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Wouldn't you need a fuse that is turned on by the ignition? So the dash cam can turn off when ignition is turned off and turn on when ignition is on?

    Not the way the BlackVue works. I am connecting their battery protection circuit which is always hot, even when the ignition is off, so the camera is powered while parked. If the battery voltage gets too low, it then shuts off.

    Any idea where one can find the fuse black diagram?
