I am wanting to hardwire my dash cam into the fuse box located under the glove box. Just wondering what location to use for this. Has anyone done this.

Do you have the built in 'Drive Recorder'? Mine has this feature, but it's not as good as a 'Dash Cam'. I remove my Dash Cam when I sold my previous BMW (X2), I still have it and was considering fitting it into my X1. There have been a few threads here on fitting one.

Can see one at present. Thanks

Thanks. I have this already but wanted to know what’s the best location to use from others experience. Thanks

I did it 5 months ago and it has been working fine so far. You can read the post #34 from mine in here:

Is this located under or behind the glove box? If so, how did you access it? Also, what dashcam do you have and what fuse locations did you use? Thanks.

For anyone reviewing this thread moving forward I'll chip in with a pic of what I did for Ground option as there's very little metal in the area of the fusebox, passenger footwell.

I removed a plastic clip that was holding a single wire & installed a machine screw / nut setup thru that existing hole. Good ground obtained.
