Where to connect dashcam ACC wire in trunk

Hello everybody,

I would like to buy a dashcam and use it with parking mode.

1. I know that I have to connect it straight to the battery because the IBS is regularly monitoring the current which is consumed by the car during the rest phase and if it mesures more than 80mA, it will log the fault. The camera I am interested in, consumes 300mA during the parking mode so I have to baypass the IBS.

2. I know that I should use the battery discharge prevention device, which monitore the voltage, and shut down the connection when it exceeds e.g. 12V. I choose one and it has 3 wires:
- B+ which should be connected to the constant 12V (in my situation directly to the battery)
- GND which should be connected to the ground.
- ACC which should be connected to the circuit, which is active only when the ignition is on.

In my E92 the battery is in the trunk. Where can I connect the ACC wire in the trunk? I know that I could use the wires in the rear console (where there are the A/C and cigarette lighter for the back passengers) but it's inside the cabin.
What about the trunk?
