W251 R350
Installation of Dashcam in the R350

Hello,
I bought a driving recorder that I would like to mount to my R350. But I have a problem, I can't find a suitable place with power. And I do
a. power supply from the ignition switch
b.permanent power supply (continuous)
c. mass
Have any of you already installed such a webcam in the W251? Where can I find the power sources: Power from the ignition switch and constant power supply. I only mount the front camera.
Thank you for help,
Robert

Switched power can come from the cigarette lighter port in the passenger footwell. Always on power will probably have to come from the fusebox.

Thank you for your response.
I was also wondering about this cigarette lighter socket. But I don't know how to get to it from the inside

You can try testing the fuses and see which ones get power with ignition on and then using one of those add a fuse taps.
