Turn car off and sit in it for about half an hour then using a multimeter check which fuses remain active.

I got it working, my issue was I had the fuse in the wrong slot on the fuse tap adaptor. It has two slots, one is for the fuse thats already in the car, and the other is for what you connect to the wire that comes off it eg the camera The above fuse locations work fine.

I've got all the fuse taps and power magic pro unit wired up, ready to go. Seem to have some phobia of just plugging it in to the fuses in fear something will go wrong or fry something! I'll bite the bullet tonight and install. |

I went to an electronics store and they recommended using 2AMP fuses for both fuse taps, and obviously pull the factor fuse out of its spot and plug it into the fuse tap.

Images below. Note larger add-a-fuse, no fuse in first position only second in the fuse adapter - however no existing fuse in position 83 hence this method... Advice...welcome!!! |

Fuse amperage
What add a circuit did you use? The one I ordered says to only go up to 10amp fuses and the cig lighter fuse is 20. I assume you guys are using a 20 amp add a circuit kit?
Does anyone know how to decode which fuses are power on ignition only versus constant on? |

Thanks for that tip. I'm not that knowledgeable in the fuse area and bmw with its symbols I had somehow used add a fuse on #16 which is probably a bad idea. Been running like that for a long time.
Tomorrow I'm changing to #8. I'm planning to install a rear camera and use parking mode on a Vico plus. Is #73 related to door locks? |

Old thread, I know...but I would think the best option would be to add a small battery and an isolator. The battery size and rating can be determined by the current consumption rating of the camera. IE, if the camera draws .5 amps max, and you want it to be able to run up to 12 hours, you'd need a (.5x12=6) 6 amp hour battery. The isolator is basically a relay, which separates the camera battery and the car battery when the car is off, but connects them when the car is running to charge them both. This is how I plan on doing mine.
