Switched live under bonnet

[Neil1664]

Hi all, looking for a switched live wire that comes on with car ignition under the bonnet for a front cam. Checked fusebox and all seem to be live all the time?
Can anyone help please?

There is one in the black fuse box under the bonnet, I piggybacked it for my electric numberplate.

Use a multimeter and remember the car needs 2 mins to fully power down.

You want one of these, takes 2 fuses one for the origional and one for the feed you’re piggybacking.

I think I remember the sound of it expiring on the entry to the car park in Loret De Mar.
