Fitting a dashcam into new car. In my old car I had a piggy back fuse to a female cig connector and just plugged the dashcams male cig into it and had lots of room to bundle the wires beh8nd the dash ..
in the new car I can’t do that Due to space so I need to cut off the cig lighter stuff and replace it. If I look in the dashcams male connector (my dashcam uses 12v/1amp input) I see all it seems to have is the switch off/on and the 1 amp fuse.
Am I right in assuming all I need to do is to cut off that 12v socket and replace with a simple inline fuse with a 1amp fuse in it?
i know it seems obvious perhaps but given the potential to mess up the camera or car electrics I wanted to ask advise.
