2021 Custom fuse tap for DashCam

[CRM]

Without getting into the debate of dashcams, i do however need to fit one now.
Can anyone advise where to tap the power from in a 2021 van, the fuse layout is a bit different from my 2014 van and is almost inaccessible under the dash too.
Ideally a fuse that will give me a little power post key removal but not a constant live to avoid it staying on constantly.
Cheers

You considered using the cigarette lighter in the recessed top dash?

You can run the cable up inside the rubber seal of the driver's door frame, and tuck it in along the cabin roof lining.

i just used the top lighter socket...only issue is with auto start/stop....the camera carrys on recording whilst sat at lights etc when the engine shuts off.only thing is when the engine resarts it seems it switches that socket off so the camera restarts every time the engine starts..i presume this is to give the starter all the power it can get...

Cheers all - the fag lighter socket is not really an option for the reason you mentioned if the battery is a bit weak, but also to keep wiring and clutter minimal.
The link Strojix put up was helpful thanks, not sure reading between the lines where that applies to the 2021 custom, it looks a bit involved adding pins to block connectors - i can see the fire starting from here lol

Mine is the same but the camera has a backup battery in it, so doesn't reset when the engine restarts. My last dashcam was the same. Both by Nextbase. Do you have a different type?
