Hi, I'm wondering if some knowledgable person can help me with my scenario.
I have a SGZC12SG wired from my windscreen to a 12v socket in the boot (trunk) of my car. The socket is not permanently live, but ignition controlled.
I have been told that the accessory fuse only needs to be moved up one notch to make it permanently live. This would enable me to use the parking feature, however I would have no control over the battery discharge. Therefore I'm wondering, is there any battery saving device that I can place between the 12v socket and the cigarette plug on the camera's lead that will do the same thing.
I suppose I could hardwire in the dashboard, but the car is brand new, and I'd rather have something that could be removed easily if required.
I've just seen this on Amazon, and wondering if it would work ok.
