Hello All
I have searched but couldnt find what i was looking for.
I have an E220 saloon 2015 .... i was going to wire up my Blackvue dashcam and use the Blackvue battery for back up.
I was hoping to place the battery back up in the glovebox and use a frendly switched fuse to charge the battery which runs the camera when the car is parked etc .

Is there a fuse box near by the glovebox ? And any help as to which fuse is switched .
Blackvue want £200 just to connect it up .... I've already mounted the cameras and ran the wires ... just need to hook it up to the car.
£200 seems a bit steep for probly 10 minutes work .

TIA

No I dont think in the 2014+ there is a fuse box easily accessible. I ran my wires all the way into the fuse box in the trunk for power.

I don't have a BlackVue but got a cheaper Dual Dashcam. I didn't tap into one of the fuses, instead I have a 6500mAh battery pack lying around and I started using it as the backup.
I have more than 1 battery packs though if needed.

Regarding battery pack, make sure you get the ones that have 'Passive charging' feature. So, you can use it while you charge it.

I believe a good capacity battery pack is cheaper than that 200bucks labor or the wiring cost itself.

Here is some info on location of the fuse boxes in W212:

I didn't use battery backup and directly wired my dashcam to the cigarette lighter fuse in the trunk (fuse #71).
Good luck with the install!
