Great write up, thanks! I've been considering doing this.

Just wondering, how you find the Alarm Fuse number? Or what is it called on your fuse chart? As I looked at the fuse allocation chart for my ML, there is no entry for alarm!!

My cigar lighter fuse is #46 by coincident. haha

Not sure about the ML. Search the forum or check inside your flat tire kit for your fuse layout.

All you need is one constant 12 volt fuse (when the car is off) and one ACC 12 volt fuse (when the car is on). Use a tester and probe them.

I now power my dash cam with a cellink B battery backup and only charge it while i drive. Works great.

Great post I'm just a little unsure where the fuzebox is. I have a R/Hand drive C22o CDI W204.

You mentioned that you used the Power Magic PRO but the pictures shows you used the Direct-Wire kit. I bought the same thing and I am about to install mine. I have a question. I noticed the wire kit has a 250V 2 Amps fuse on the battery cable (red cable). I am planning to use a fuse tap on both power cables, one for battery and the other for ACC. My question is: do I keep the glass fuse (250V 2A) already present on the kit? Also, which Amp fuse do I use on the fuse tap?

I did the exact same install with a blackvue DR650GW-2CH. Lower profile for those who want a more hidden dashcam. Mine sits right behind the mirror and I don't even see it.
