Hi,

New to your forum. Looks like this is the place for info on New Beetle's. Love the car, not sure I enjoy fix it though ...

I'm looking at putting in a camera that records while you drive. They have them in Europe etc. to catch thief's or accidents.

I need to be able to wire to the fuse box for my new BlackVue camera into my daughter's 2006 Beetle. I need to tie into the electrical so that it can control when to turn on and off so the battery does not go dead.

How do you connect power wires to the fuse box? I need a connection to PWR when ignition on and PWR all the time.

Thanks
Brian

Where in the car would you like to install the camera? If it is in the trunk area you may be a able to splice into the CD changer if you have one. I'm not too familiar with the 2006 Beetles.

Use the fuse that provides the power to the dome light(s); because you turn them on without the key in the ignition.

How/where do I connect my wire to the fuse/panel?

I purchased some mini add a circuit wire packages to enable me to wire directly into the fuse panel.
