Why would you need to remove it? Sod's Law will say it's at home when you most needed it
Got security cameras at home
It stops low life trying to steal it
One of my dash cams is stuck firmly to the screen, the other will easily come out of its mount, I just feel that it wouldn't be in the car if removed when I most needed it.

And my current thought is there might be a small driver inside low down, that has got wet.
Although there might not be a driver in the lamp, as the CJB defo has output drivers.
Surely it needs a permanent feed
Current draw in sleep mode should be negligible.
Anyhoo...
Also consider the impact of adding extras to a circuit. Slapping in a bigger fuse isn't a solution. At least the empty circuit keeps it straightforward.Quote from: Auto AddictRight, I've sussed how to feed the wire.
Which fuse would you tap into, the Astra K forum suggests fuse 31, I would have though fuse 26?
28 USB socket
Assuming it's ignition switched
I'll test it out

Do you have an auto dimming rear view camera?FixedRemove rear view mirror, find a 12v ign controlled wire, join into that,, normally it's in the sunroof lead
Don't use interior lights they are earth switches. Only supplies when door is open
I haven't got a sun roof.
It will have the forward facing ADAS camera and probably auto dimming rear view mirror

I'd meter out the courtesy light feed as a starting point.
I used an inline cigarette lighter socket and then hardwired it to the back of the stereo. As long as you are careful, you can pick up a switched live pretty much anywhere. I'm not 100% on the output of the obd port having enough current.
I can see why you'd be reluctant to start stripping a new car, as was I when I fitted the dash cam in my new cars. Audi fit metal A Post clips which are an absolute shit to get out without bending them.
This guy in the link did it from the fuse box but he did remove the trims. The easiest way is behind the dash and up the A Post door trim rubber, but be aware that doing it that way the cable will cross over the A Post airbag, hence why I removed my trims to get the cable under/in front off the airbag.

If the switched OBD socket is the easiest option, then try that.
