Kevman, Is this is a light circuit which comes on when the handle is pulled, then the light goes out when the car is started? If so a different circuit may get you going. The windshield wiper, turn signal, or radio circuits are usually good choices for power only when the car is running, but others may also work. You need one which is not interrupted when going from "run" to "start" with the key as the momentary power loss can shut the camera down.
Battery cams can often keep loading through a temporary power loss when starting the car, but capacitor cams may not hold enough power to do that so you need to use a circuit which does not drop out when the key goes to 'start'.
