Would I need to tap into (2) fuses?

Hi,
1 - You need to add a fuse.
So a socket like this is needed. Theres 2 slots, one for the original fuse and the other to the red cable for the cam 12V+.

On the red wire I tap a female 12V soket for the camera power. The ground is tapped on a bolt I found next to the passenger door :
2- From the little door in the glovebox, you can reach the fuse #??? (cant remember see pics for position)
3 - all wires hidden (only about 1.5'' is visible, fine for me). wires get out from the passenger side and running in the A-pillar. I did not remove the pillar, its very easy to squeeze the wire in the windshield/pillar gap
