Mazda CX30 2022 interior fuses for hard wire dash cam

Bad news is all the interior fuses are hot, so hope this vid helps others and not drain their 12v battery for hard wiring dshscams. Thanks for watching.

I just found the same thing with my Mazda 3, the easiest way is just to use one of the USB ports in the centre console - the only minor messy bit is that takes room in the console bin, jams at the end when shut and has to run over the side, but everything else can be tucked under trims and door rubbers and only takes minutes to install - (and without the hardwire kit)

What do you think about connect it in the engine fuse box? Srry for my english 😂

I ran into the same issue. Which fuses did you use in the engine bay fuse box? The only fuses that have power in ACC only is “For protection for various circuits” fuses.

Thanks . I suspect this is the same as in my 2024 CX-30 Sport. Too bad.

I know I've already commented but what about running an "on-off" switch in the line to one of those hot fuses? In other words switch it off when you power off the car and on when you drive? Or unplug the power cord from the camera when your done driving? Or would that still be a parasitic drain? Still trying to figure this out. Thanks

Hi. I am halfway through my install of a dashcam to a 2023 CX-30. I'd like to use parking mode with the dashcam (to avoid battery drain) and will probably need to go with the engine fusebox. How did you go about this on your previous install? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you test this after waiting ~15 minutes after the car was shut off? I heard that the USB ports in the center console turn off after 15 minutes, so maybe the fuses might act in this way too.

Im about to install my friend’s dashcam on his cx30, will the fuse tap with auto voltage cut-off kit will work? It has a voltage selector when to turn off the dash cam to avoid draining your cars battery.

So the acc and vcc both is it can use the 24hrs power supply?

did wait about a minute after you got in the car. Because this car electrics stay in for about a minute (even while engine off)
before it all turns off
