Hardwire Dashcam

I’m in the process of installing a Nextbase 522GW and I cannot see a diagram of the fuses.

Anyone else experience the same? I find it hard to believe MB didn’t include a fuse diagram. I did also check the manual.
First, open the engine compartment fusebox. In there is a folded piece paper with the fuse diagram for both fuse boxes.
 
One question What kind of piggyback fuse or adaptor i need to connect this hardwire with yellow/red cables? Thanks
 
Hi all

Looking to install a parking battery to run the dashcam when it's installed. The best spot from a wiring viewpoint would be under the passenger front seat - the battery pack is 40mm high ( 150mm x 170mm x 38mm ) - is there enough room under the seat for it to fit? I plan on using velcro to hold it in place.

Thanks
Hi
I will be installing a dashcam into my new W177 when it arrives and I will be powering it from a Blackvue parking mode battery ( which will be hardwired to the fuse box in the passenger footwell ).

How much room is there underneath the passenger seat? The battery is about 40mm high.

Thanks
It depends on the spec of your car, there are ECU's under the seats depending on car spec, so space will vary according to model & spec.

You'll just have to wait for your actual car to see for yourself.
