Has anyone hardwired a 3rd party dash cam? I have always had a front and rear camera mounted that I usually use a fuse tap for but wanted to see if anyones already gone through the process. All my other cars have had a plethora of info available online but these cars are so new, there's nothing as of yet.

The fuse panels in the EQS SUV are not compatible with the piggyback style fuse taps. The reason is that the sockets are slightly deeper than normal and there is a locking tab on one side of the fuse. You would either need to cut off the locking tab or modify the fuse tap to accommodate the locking tab. Neither of these options appealed to me.
I used a metal fuse tap that does not add a separate circuit, but uses the circuit protected by the existing fuse. I installed the fuse tap on the 12v accessory socket which rarely has anything plugged into it. In my case I added a circuit for an extra 12v socket that I installed in the center console. If you need a circuit that is not powered with "ignition" then you will have to choose a different circuit.
There is another style of metal fuse tap, but it doubles the thickness of the fuse blade and I think this will damage the fuse socket in an existing circuit and will not fit snuggly in an open slot in the fuse panel.

Can you post a pic of your install? Thank you for the info
