So I got my cam yesterday but haven't mounted it as of yet. I plan on having the mobius permanently mounted with the lens relocated out of the case. But before I spend any additional $$ I would like to take it for a spin.
I currently have 3 devices close to the rearview mirror which I would like to power
1. Dashcam (Mobius Mini USB)
2. Bluetooth Speaker (Motorola roadster 2 micro USB)

3. Radar detector (Passport Max) RJ11

My ideal setup would be to have one cable going back to fuse box and connect it to a fuse that always has power using Add a circuit aka add a fuse. On the other end I would like to split the cable to the 3 different devices and attach it with it corresponding charging connector and for the mobius I was thinking of taking out the battery forever and just leave it with external power. I figured this will not give me any overheating.
Now the question is how big fuse should I use. I was looking at all the out put of this devices they use the cigarette plug and the out out on them is 5v but my car is 12v. And the amp it anywhere from .5amp - 1amp.
My idea is to run phone cable I believe it 24awg use 2 pair for negative and use 2 pair for positive and split it on the rearview mirror side to the 3 devices. I'm open to suggestions.
Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot, but im not all up there when it comes to V/AMPs I get confused. I hope my explanation give you and Idea of what I want to accomplish or even if it possible. I think all the devices together is less anywhere between 2.2 amp - 3amp (this is really exaggerated).
