    R231 - switched live from driver-side fusebox?

    You can go 40mm into it. If you look at the second pic I posted, you can see the lens of mine is just under the swipe of the wiper so it's ok on both counts. It's a bit of a pain ruling though and a bit ambiguous. I mean, are they saying that you can't have a camera that encroaches more that 40...

    R231 - switched live from driver-side fusebox?

    If they fitted it under the rear-view mirror on an R231, I would say it's it's certainly in the swept area of the windscreen wipers and therefore not fitted lawfully - if that worries you... https://www.roadhawk.co.uk/articles/product-placement-is-your-dash-cam-breaking-the-law

    R231 - switched live from driver-side fusebox?

    After lots of research I fitted the Thinkware Q800, partly because it's pretty small and discrete but also because of it's night recording performance and 2k recording, which makes reading number plates easier.

    R231 - switched live from driver-side fusebox?

    Thanks a lot. I found that but it appears to be for an R230 not an R231 - certainly the fuse I used isn't shown on the map. I'll see if I can get the number, but it's the only 15 amp fuse in the location near where the piggyback block is.

I then ran the cable to the passenger side engine bay fuse box and used a piggyback adapter to get a switched live. The...

    R231 - switched live from driver-side fusebox?

    I think I’ve found a grommet through to the engine bay where I can use a piggyback fuse into a switched live. I’ll let you know if it works.

    R231 - switched live from driver-side fusebox?

    Hi all I'm trying to fit a dashcam to my SL400 R231. I've got all the cables nicely hidden and run down the pillar to the driver-side fuse box where I need a permanent and a switched live, the only problem is, I've tested all the fuses there with a meter and every one seems to be a permanent...
