Hi as a new Megane e-tech owner i could do with some help fitting a dash cam. I have looked at some other posts on here but did not find any that matched my situation.
Basically i am looking at where to connect for ignition control and permanent live fuses. I have the fuse board that is not behind the glovebox but on the drivers side. It’s the model with the bigger screen and this is the diagram that shows my fuse board. The Dashcam is the Viofo A229 Pro front and rear, Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks prettyvacant for your suggestion. I was thinking of connecting the ignition switch side to the radio fuse which seems to go off with the ignition but don’t know which fuse would give me permanent live for parking mode and i don’t want to risk tapping into a fuse that really should be left alone.The fuse box looks different from the ones that i have seen on the forum so no joy there.

Hi, I used number 30 for the switched live.
Hi Chipmunk79
Thanks for your suggestion but I have decided to wire up by the cigarette socket. The reason is I was going to wire up with the radio fuse shown as number 31 for the ignition switched. Anyway when i pulled the fuse an error came up related to the type pressure monitoring accompanied with a flashing light on the dash. I put the fuse back but the warning lights were still flashing.so i went to the tyre pressure menu hoping to reset it but that option was not available and had been disabled. I thought it was going to be a trip to Renault to get it sorted so i took all the wiring out ready for the trip to Renault.
Anyway i thought i better see if i drives ok didn’t go far and all the warning lights went away so went back into the tyre pressure monitoring menu and everything back as it should be.The fuse box is different to the ones i have seen on the forum so i am going to wire up via the cigarette lighter socket temporarily as i am not bothered about the parking mode.Anyway many thanks to the guys who posted trying to help much appreciated.
