What fuses in Telluride?

[dansta]

I have the Vantrue N2 Pro dual dashcam. I've been looking for the right fuse to use for the parking mode feature. I was thinking the Module 8 would be the one to use as it's supposed to provide power to the dome lights? Thanks for the picture of the fuse hookups.

Normally for dashcam's with parking mode, you have two wire requirements. One is for power when the car is on and the other wire is for power when the car is off. Which is also labeled as ACC and Batt on the wires. Can you confirm which type of connection you need?

I only need to use a constant on fuse for the parking mode to be enabled. My hardwire kit is this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G9WTWB9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used a multimeter and found that the Module 8 isn't a constant on fuse. So I think I will use the one mentioned above, the passenger seat fuse. Thanks for your help.

I tapped the same fuses with piggyback connectors for my Thinkware camera. I have had no issues.

I used Module 8 to power interior LED footwell lights. It uses a Bluetooth App to control lights. The lights seem to stay on all the time, even 20 min after Telly has been sitting in garage, so I have to remember to turn off lights with the App. Do you know the conditions when Module 8 doesn't receive power? I see that it is the power for the Hazard Key, which makes me think it is a constant on fuse.

It's a real PITA on the newer Kia's. Here's how I did it. You can use a relay module powered by the accessory wire which can tapped into from any dome light. The dome signal can be used as the relay trigger, however, you'll need a timed latching relay as the dome signal is PMW.

Hi tazzytazzy,
I saw your work on Groot (cool name and color BTW!). The Opt7 Pro has a "Door Assist" wire, in addition to the power wire. This is to do exactly what you did - tap into a door, dome or map light. I left it coiled up and tucked under the dash underneath driver's wheel. When wired up, and a door is opened, the LED strips will turn white. Once car is turned on, the LED lights will turn to the last color selected on the app (and power should be connected to an ACC/On fuse, NOT Module 8 like I currently have it connected). Here is a screenshot of the App, where you can see the "Door Assist" on the left (you can change the brightness), and on the right you can select white or any color for the normal operation of the LEDs (i.e. doors closed). It has modes to Strobe, Pulse and also change according to music (can change microphone sensitivity as well).

I didn't wire it up because I am not confident of my soldering skills and also to break into the dome and map lights and such... may tackle it one day!

BTW, all interior fuses are either ENGINE ON or ALWAYS ON. There are no ACC fuses... They seem to only be in fuses inside engine compartment. Anyone else find this to be true?

I used the passenger powered seat fuse for always on (red wire on the viofo power adapter) and the rear wiper fuse for the switched power (yellow wire on the viofo power adapte). i’ve seen these fuse adapters come loose before, so I chose these circuits because if they came loose it shouldn’t impact vehicle safety until they’re reconnected.

This was a super helpful post, thank you!

Two questions:
1. Where did you connect your ground? I'm installing a viofo a139 with a HK3-C Hardwire Kit, which has a ground lead. I see three screws back behind the door of the fuse panel, curious what others did?
Answer: In the end, I tested for conductivity between the screws and determined they were grounded to the frame so I used the screw closest to the drivers side door that was inside the fuse box.

2. When I put my add-a-fuse connector into the rear wiper fuse, it didn't seat very well. Did anyone else have this problem? I went looking for another ACC connection but am worried the others tie to circuits that may impact safety.

Thanks again!

I ended up connecting my ACC connection to the A/C fuse. Seems to be working well and seats better for me with the add-a-fuse connectors I got.

IIRC some people had to shave down the plastic portion of the add a fuse connector because it’s a really tight fit. As long as you get it to snap in we’ll I assume you will be fine.

Be careful, most instructions for those fuse taps require that the hot input go to the blade at the end (The one furthest from the wire). This setup didn’t work for me for the accessory wire due to the bulky plug below the wiper fuse. The only switched (accessory) one that worked was module 2.

I had Best Buy install my new Viofo A139 Pro Duo. I had purchased an 8 meter cable to the rear which they required. They wouldn't listen to me regarding what fuses to which color wires. They said we know what to use. When I got home found that the parking mode was not receiving power. Returned today and they initially tried to get me to make another trip late Sunday. I spoke with a manager and he convinced them to work me in for a 10 minute wire swap. The tech was indignant and kept showing me that it was a powered fuse with ignition off. I finally convinced him to switch the red and yellow wires to the fuses you suggested. I told him if it didn't work I'd leave. AMAZING! Works just as it's supposed to. He sheepishly explained to me and the 2 managers present that he'd never seen a wire harness with the red wire always on (as described in your post and Viofo instuctions) and the yellow wire as switched. Thanks so much for your post and to the Viofo written instructions!

I just finished hardwiring my Viofo A119 Mini 2 and figured I would post my setup so it might help others.

2025 Kia Telluride

Constant Power / Red wire labeled Battery
From the top left, 3 row, second slot down. This was an open fuse location and provides constant 12v power.

ACC / Yellow wire for power when vehicle running.
From the top left, 5th row, very bottom fuse, which is a 15amp fuse for wiper RR.

For the ground wire there are 2 different bolts to the left of the fuse box. I used the closest own. I had to find my own nut to screw on top of the existing nut, as they are tact welded.

Hope this helps someone, good luck!
