There is a large piece of folded paper in the boot fuse box. Look in the boot just behind one of the lights for a carpetted lid. Open it and there are a few fuses there but also the diagram slotted in near them.
Are you sure you have a w213, cos that looks nothing
like my fusebox (see pic) in fact not even the area around it looks like my car (not even my previous w212)
then again you don't really need the diagram.
just find one fuse that switches of with engine
and one (if your camera has parkmode) that stays on.
Local dealers (Russia) remove and they are saying that it's not for public.
Just to get all the money even for replacing fuse.
Pleeease, somebody take a picture of yours diagram and put it here.
How can we know which fuse is Switched or Constant Power?
Use a voltage tester to see if power is on the fuse when the car is turned off. Then make sure there is power when the car is switched on. With dash cams that include park mode, you'll need a connection to both switched and constant power plus ground - 3 connections total.

I use the battery pack so I just need a Switch fuse since in parking mode it uses the battery pack power and not the car battery.
Problem is that I don't have a voltage tester. Anyone can tell me which fuse I can use as Switch on the passenger feet fuse box
I tried F315 Engine Electronics and the battery still gets 12V in
I tried F310 Belt Tensioner and battery still gets 12V in
F301/302 power window and still gets 12V in
F303/304 Seat adjustment and also gets 12V in
F306 Seat heating/ventilation same ****
F309 Sunroof same ****
in the trunk find fuse 457 or 458 (I think they are blue)
these are for the 12v socket (cigarette lighter) in front & rear of the car.
they definitely switch off with engine.
(but it might take a few minutes after car is locked!)
but u need a switched fuse as you don't want the batttery to charge when engine is off…?
it's actually very simple to pass the cable from the front to the trunk.
(see one of my other posts with installation pics.)
Attached is a cross referenced list of each fuse block, fuse number, amps and function from the images posted by Egonvdv. Note that there are several undefined locations/functions. I have not checked the data against what is physically present in the fuse blocks. Use at your own risk.

I really can't find the path to pass to the trunk. I might be dumb or something lol I have looked everywhere.
Can you show me a picture from where you passed? I can arrive to the back seats, it is easy but from there to the trunk I don't know.
I would highly appreciate it.
EDIT: Yes, I do need a switch fuse. A fuse that will turn off when the car is off, otherwise it is what you said, it will drain the battery.
