Wondering what others' experience has been on which are best fuse choices for 12V power, and Switched Auxiliary power?

Also I have yet to spot a ground lug nearby the interior fusebox.

Top right fuse under the dash...can’t remember but it’s 27 or 37 I think. It’s switched 12V. You’ll need a mini fuse tap.

I will need 2 fuse taps actually.
Do you recall what you used for a ground post?
Do you run rear cam and if so did you route the cable through the hatch loom?

I only run a front cam. An Escort M1 that uses a single power wire for it and the Max 360 radar detector. I like easy.

there's a grounding bolt below and to the side of the fusebox on the driver's side.

the rear camera cable: yes, run through the rubber cable passage. it'll fit.

For anybody looking for a good close ground that is not under the brake pedal, pop off the plastic panel next to dash. THere's a trim screw that connects to the ground that the fuse panel connects to as well.
