I want to hard wire my dash cam to only come on when the key is turned on. The cigarette lighter is always hot so not a option. Yes I did search and could not find my answer. My question is where is the best spot to tap into.
Question as to hot wire

The glove box outlet is switched, lights...

Agreed! The 12V cig port between the shoulders is hot 24/7. Tap into the one in the glove box which is on with ignition.

Chain, it's a pretty small wire, I used it to trigger a relay to power my switched fuse block.

I have a fuse block wired in but it is always hot. I guess I should run a switch on fuse block.

So far, on my wiring, I only needed a couple of always hot, so I have a much smaller block for that, and it feeds into my relay going to the switched block.
Just a thought on that 12v in the glove box, looked like an 18 awg wire.

You can also add another 60 amp electronic fuse box you can control from your cell phone...you can program things to come on with the key. I have my heated riding gear on it so I can individually instantly adjust the temperature. My halos are on it too.
I love this thing.
It will add 6 more fused circuits that work off the key.

Damn they are proud of that thing. I think I paid 13.00 for my fuse block but it does not have remote access which I could care less about that.
