    REALLY sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm trying to fit power for a RoadAngel. Which drivers side unused fuse position should get power only with ignition on?
    Far as I can tell they are all powered all the time?

    I am having one of these fitted professionally on Thursday. If you haven't found out by then, remind me, and I'll ask the fitter.

    That would be great, thanks.
    I've been considering a driving camera for a little while now, liking the spec of that one.

    I had a Road Angel Professional fitted by an auto-electrician who took the power from an ignition feed somewhere near the fuse and terminated with a mini USB connector in the storage compartment with the sliding in front of the gear selector. I bought a GPS antenna from eBay (signal was too hit and miss without it) and ran the wire to the same place so I now have the Road Angel permanently connected, but out of sight when parked by sliding the tray cover shut. Works a dream.

    Found that all fuses in the right hand fuse box are all permanently live. Those on the passenger side only with ignition.
    Lots of fiddling later I decided to put my Road Angel on the other side of the windscreen! :-O
    Blackvue is fine, cable runs nicely under trim to either side of car - Thanks Timothy Nathan!

    Sorry I forgot to ask my guy. The BlackVue is very good, isn't it? Even the software and manual are good.
