@RamshakleZ If you're installing a dashcam, the microphone area above the rearview mirror has an easily accessible, unused in North America, connector that is perfect for the always on dashcam install. I clipped this from a thread, and this user inserted pins into the connector -- I did something similar to tap into that for my Blackvue and it works perfectly. Sorry to the owner of this picture/post: I didn't note the URL I got it from, but it's on this site somewhere:
@obrien28 Thanks so much for the diagram! I've been looking all over for it, and the online, and in dash manuals don't have a fuse diagram.
In the linked file, it looks like the fuse box is flipped 180 degrees (or printed upside down). At least in my 2016 refresh S, fuse F100 is in the lower right corner as you stand in front of the car. Interestingly, F100 is also what controls the above mentioned microphone area unused connector.
In addition, the in-cabin fuse box you show seems to indicate it's on the passenger side (assuming North American layout with left hand drive). I thought the in-cabin fuse box is on the driver's side (thus left side in NA). Am I wrong?
FWIW I personally tapped into fuse F100 using an add-a fuse designed for Micro2 format fuses (available here:
Amazon.com: Lumision FAST SHIPPING* ADD-A-CIRCUIT ATR MICRO2 FUSE-TAP Add ON DUAL CIRCUIT ADAPTER AUTO CAR TERMINAL + FUSE SET 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20 AMPS: Electronics) -- this was to route an always-on 12V socket in my trunk so I could run a cooler if needed.
In order to snap back down the large cover over the fuse box, I did dremel out a small notch from the COVER (I took out a tiny 4 mm wide section of the lip on the cover that mates with the fusebox) so the cover could still snap on as the positive lead snuck out. I did not cut into or mod the fuse box -- I figured the fuse box cover is way way cheaper to replace if really needed.
