Blackvue hardwire wiring help

Sttole this photo from another write up on here. I'd prefer to use an un used slot in the fuse box, are any of these empty slots (by the brown 5a fuses) power by accy only or are they all constant battery slots?

I can snap a picture of the fuse slots I used but I think you'll need to let go of the idea of using unused slot. I couldn't find one. You need to get a cheap 12V tester and see which slots go dead after the car fully shuts down. This vehicle is strange compared to most cars that have an ignition source that actually turns off when you turn the car off. This car takes a while to fully go to sleep.

Appreciate it

Ya the whole sleep/wake thing gets annoying when trying to do stuff like this, plus it seems to take FOREVER to sleep (unless my fob is too close and just preventing that)

I only had the micro fuse adapter on hand, dashcam only takes like 1a so I threw it in an empty slot in the 70's. I don't think I was showing enough time for it to power down/sleep, or maybe having the fob in my pocket eas letting it awake? Send to be turning off now after s few minutes, but it did wake up if the tailgate opens etc...

You can force it to sleep by long pressing the radio power button.
