great write-up @Loc Nar. I went out to my truck this morning and took pics of my set-up. I can confirm that I am using FC23 for my "switched" circuit and FC12 for my "Always-on" circuit. Parking sensor seems to be working when the vehicle is off based on what I am seeing in the mirror's set-up menu and I turned the sensitivity to low. I never got around to checking if the camera will auto-record if it detects a collision though. Has someone tried this? Is it as simple as rocking your truck while parked and turned off?
For those of you not sure which slot to put the fuses when using a pigtail, I believe the "right way" to do this is that the original fuse goes on the bottom slot and the camera's fuse (blue one) goes on the top slot. ex. FC12 is a 20A fuse, so that one goes on the bottom of the pigtail and the camera's 10A fuse (blue) goes on top. If the camera's 10A fuse trips, the 20A fuse should still stay intact and allow the Head Unit to operate. However, if the 20A fuse trips, it's likely that the 10A fuse will trip too. If you connect the pigtail to a lower amperage fuse (ex 5A or 7.5A) then if that one trips, your 10A camera fuse should still be okay unless the power spike exceeds 10A too. Either way, I try to use pigtails on circuits that are non-critical to the vehicle's operations and safety systems.
