Got it. I prefer to use empty if possible but I'll consider this, I'm sure it's just as safe but I guess I got lazy when I had bunch of empty slots that were switched power only. Is there a bolt you used for ground near the fuse block?

Probably a limitation of the current G01 SP18 and OS7. There’s then the power requirements to consider of the current G01 camera solutions, and impact based “wake up and record” type devices often miss the actual event due to time lag, hence next to useless, and why buffered pre event video is a must imo. That’s also before you start adding remote cell based alerts to the power requirements.

I get what you are saying but if there are fixes for aftermarket, I am sure bmw can come up with a way to solve it. On these mild hybrid cars there should be more than plenty of power for a little bit to reserve for cameras, they could even have a little slot where you could add a supplement battery, but bmw chooses to remove all the buttons and slap a big screen on dash and call that improvement, instead. BMW eye is a nice solution but it also adds a big screen on windshield, I prefer to get as small as possible. I would even go with no screen on dash cam.
