I'm looking for some advice on a permanent live for my 2014 Disco4. Just installed a DDpai dash cam thanks to those of you who put up the info. Super piece of kit so far. However this one is a replacement for my tired and unsupported BV500.
Problem is I was always getting low battery warning even with full charge when the connection was through a power magic box. I had it wired to acc and F41 for live but I didn't realise that this fuse has changed to cover something called Gateway Module. Needless to say once it was off of F41 no more low battery warning. (Hope this info helps others).
So now I'm needing a permanent live, tried F40 but still switches on and off when starting car. I was wondering if the trailer electrics could be useful?
Any advice most welcome.
John

I've wired a permanent live 12v cigarette lighter off the trailer lights, can't remember off the top of my head which one but tested them with a multimeter to find the live when ignition off and the car in shutdown.

Thanks for that. Just connected to F48 Trailer Battery feed. So far so good.
