W204 & Thinkware Dashcam

Got a nice Thinkware F750 Dashcam with the hardwire installation kit but only thing is that thinkware doesn't offer an actual guide for Mercedes C class installation. 🤦🏾*♂️

My 2013 C300 has the fuse box in the trunk so I've ran/tucked the wires all the way from the front to the trunk, then grounded the "ground" wire n well ..... I'm stuck from after that. 🤷🏽*♂️

So the Red wire & the Yellow wire are just sitting their until I can find out exactly what fuses they go to. Like actual fuse numbers that show on the fuse box layout.

So can anyone offer some insight into this???
It would be greatly appreciated. 💆🏽*♂️

Hmmm...I have my dashcam wired to the overhead map lights. Use a voltmeter to detect which pin is the 12V. As an added benefit, the cam remains on for the duration that the courtesy lights remains hot (I think max 1 hour), OR until the doors get locked after shutting the car down.

This way the cam continues to record in the event the car is valeted.
