Hello dashcam guru, I have some quick questions that I can't find in the manual:
Device: Lukas 9750 type B
Problem: not able to turn on
What I did so far:
- wiring rear-front cable
- laying wire from fuse to rear mirror area
- bought 1 add-a-circuit (low profile mini)
- bought 1 5A low profile mini fuse
- Insert red cable (ACC+) to add-a-circuit and pinched it
- bolt ground (GND) to 10mm bolt near fuse box
- Insert original fuse from ciggarete socket fuse (20A) and new 5A fuse into add-a-circuit
- plug add-a-circuit into ciggarete fuse slot back
After steps above, I plugged rear cam and dc-in cable to the camera. Then, I turn on the ignition. Ciggarete power was on, but Lukas did not booting.
Is it because I need to install BATT+ to one of the fuse? Or am I getting DOA device?
Fyi: my vehicle is Civic 2015.

Good morning, I just got my multimeter from Amazon. Cheap, affordable, and pretty rigid one.
Here is my report to you: You are absolutely correct, MULTIMETER IS THE KEY. Finally I can found which fuse # has power when engine on or off super easily.
Fellow future readers, learn from my mistake: Do not assume fuse # either hot (always on) or not by the name. I got it wrong without multimeter. With multimeter I can easily tell by the DC amount (usually around 12ish) is there is a current.
I placed ACC from fuse for cigarette to fuel pump and placed BATT from door lock to un-used fuse slot.. Dashcam perfectly booting.
Thanks to CalgaryDashCam who guide me throughout my process. Hopefully future readers can found this thread to be helpful.
