SG9665GC anyone hardwire?

I would think you are right, possible and practical are two different things
Furthermore, the Vico is designed for lead acid batteries rather than Lion, and the two types have different voltage curves & cut offs.
 
Are there instructions step by step for someone who never did it before?
I just received the hardwire kit (thanks niko) and although i do know red goes to tap a fuse and black on ground, i am really at a loss as to why there are three different sets of tap a fuse and how exactly do i assemble those parts to the edge of the wires.
I also think i can identify which fuse to use from my car's manual.
Any help welcome or pointing me to an existing video or guide with clear steps, not assuming people know this stuff!

I sent you 3 different type of add-a-circuit so you can select and use the one that fits your car fuse box fuse socket (different cars use different type/size fuses).

BDP and Fuse add a circuit-1-700x700_0.jpg

Add-a-circuit connects to RED wire of hardwiring and then to accessory fuse in your car fuse box. To black wire from hardwiring connect copper ground terminal added in that set and then find hood ground point in your car which is usually bolt/nut on car body.

Use multimeter to find accessory fuse in your car. Avoid air-bag, alarm, central lock, ABS and other vital fuses.

It is fairly simple job but it is recommended that hardwiring is done by car electrical specialist to avoid surprises.

As always very helpful @niko , that clears up things a bit. My next question is what type of accessories to put on the add-a-circuit. For example, let's say I find a suitable 10A accessory. I take it off and then connect the add-a-circuit there.
Should i put the 10A i took off on it as well as another 5A accessory from the ones you sent me like this?

3 or 5Amp fuse for dashcam is fine.

yes
 
Is it preferable to use something that gets powered only when engine fully STARTS or anything that turns on when i just switch the key (even without turning on the engine)
Would any of those options harm the camera in any way?
 
Things that only turn on when the engine is running often relate to safety systems or ECU, accessory switched sources are generally the preferred option
 
I am thinking of using the Air Con or the radio one then. My only issue now is finding the earthing bolt, upon opening the fuse box i only see this. No bolt in sight.
