Thinkware U3000 Install - What fuse do I pick?

[Brandondean614]

Hey everyone,

New to posting on here but have had my 23' type r since May 2023. I'm trying to protect myself on the road a little more as it is my daily at 19k miles and Charleston SC drivers have to be the worst out of anywhere I've lived prior. Never had a dashcam before but the U3000 had a lot of parking features in particular that really got my attention. Asking before I receive the product in the mail tomorrow, what fuses should I tap to allow my parking mode to work? I hear horror story's about piggybacking the wrong fuse and just don't want to make the mistake.

Pick something that is hot when the car is on and another that is hot when the car is off.

I followed this thread when I installed my cam in my FK8 and again when I installed that same cam in my FL5:

Awesome! Thank you for the reference, that's a really well done write up! Got my dashcam in the mail today, going to work on installing it tomorrow!

Which fuses did you tap? I have the same dashcam from my old car but I haven't wired my type R yet.

I used the ones in that link I posted... door locks and accessory.

Thanks! I've been meaning to install mine but I've been putting it off. Better to know what works.
