BlackboxMyCar Add-A-Fuse Kit

Connect a dash cam hardwire cable or a compatible battery-pack charging cable at the vehicle fuse panel. Choose a standard kit with one or two of each common fuse-tap style, or the separate pair of Micro3 taps when that is the confirmed fit for your vehicle.

Fuse-Panel Connection

Four Standard Styles

Two Quantity Options

Micro3 Option

Separate Circuits

One of each: four taps for a battery-pack installation

The standard battery-pack option includes one Low-Profile Mini, one Mini, one Micro2 and one ATO tap, with a fuse for each. Choose the style that fits your vehicle’s fuse slot.

Many dash cam battery packs charge from a switched circuit while driving. Check the battery’s installation instructions for its required circuit, fuse rating and charging cable. The fuse tap is only the connection accessory, not a charger or voltage-cutoff controller.

Four standard fuse taps and supplied fuses in the one-of-each battery-pack option

Two of each: eight taps for a dash cam installation

A three-wire hardwire kit usually needs a constant-power connection and an ignition-switched connection, plus ground. This option supplies two of each of the four standard styles so you can make both fuse-panel connections after confirming their fit.

The BlackVue three-wire hardwire cable and VIOFO HK6 are examples of separately purchased three-wire leads. Their wire colours differ, so identify BATT, ACC and GND from the lead’s labels and instructions instead of following a universal red/yellow rule.

Test the circuits and tap orientation before connecting. Retain the original vehicle circuit’s specified fuse and select suitable protection for the new accessory branch. The supplied 20A fuse is a package item, not a recommendation to increase an original fuse or use 20A for every camera.

Eight standard fuse taps and supplied fuses in the two-of-each dash-cam option

Micro3: a separate two-tap choice

Choose the Micro3 option only after confirming the three-blade fuse style in the vehicle. Micro3 is different from Micro2 and is not part of either standard assorted kit. Follow the Micro3-specific layout and circuit guidance when installing it.

If you already have the wiring equipment, this kit supplies the taps. Add a BlackboxMyCar Circuit Tester if needed, or choose the Essential BlackboxMyCar Install Package for taps together with a tester, trim tool and other installation supplies. Keep wiring clear of controls and airbags, and get installation help if a suitable circuit cannot be identified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which kit should I choose for direct dash cam hardwiring?

A three-wire kit normally needs constant and switched fuse connections, so choose two of each standard style if those styles fit your vehicle. Confirm the camera kit’s requirements first; Micro3 uses the separate option.

Why is the battery-pack option one of each?

Many battery packs need one switched charging circuit. The kit gives you four common styles to choose from, not four connections that must all be installed. Follow your battery’s actual charging instructions.

Are Micro2 and Micro3 interchangeable?

No. They are different physical fuse types. Micro3 is sold separately as a pair and is not included in the standard one-of-each or two-of-each kits.

Should I always install the supplied 20A fuse?

No. Use the rating required for the accessory branch, wiring and tap. A smaller dash cam load may call for a lower-rated fuse. Keep the original vehicle circuit at its specified rating; do not increase it to match an included fuse.

Does a fuse tap replace a hardwire kit?

No. It connects an appropriate power lead to the fuse panel. It does not regulate power, detect ignition by itself or provide a low-voltage cutoff.

Do red and yellow wires mean the same thing on every brand?

No. Use the wire labels and exact hardwire-kit instructions to identify constant power, switched power and ground. Confirm circuit behavior with a suitable tester before connecting.

Does this include installation tools?

No. This listing is the fuse-tap kit. The Essential Install Package includes taps plus a circuit tester, trim tool, zip ties and decals.

Can I use any spare fuse slot?

No. A spare-looking slot may have no suitable supply or may not be appropriate for an accessory. Confirm the vehicle diagram, circuit behavior, available capacity and tap orientation. Use an installer when those checks are uncertain.

Easy to

Easy to do

Thanks for the review, Dennis! We’re glad to hear the add-a-fuse kit was easy to use for your setup.

Cannot select 2x micro 3 fuse in the browser

Cannot select 2x micro 3 fuses in the browser nor was it available when I purchased this.

Thanks for the feedback, Kevin.

It looks like we had recently sold out of the Micro 3 option before your order was placed, which is why it was unavailable to select. We understand that was frustrating, especially since it was the fuse type you needed for your installation.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and will pass the feedback along to our team as we continue improving the kit and purchasing experience.

My major gripe is

My major gripe is that this kit does not include an option for a mini-3 fuse. I guess my 2023 GMC pickup is "niche and unique". Every GM truck is "niche and unique" as well. So I had to order what was needed (mini-3 add-a-fuse) from Amazon in order to hook up the hardwire kit, I should have skipped this product completely and just ordered what I needed from Amazon.

Thanks for your feedback, Kevin. Just to clarify, the fuse size commonly used in many GM trucks is Micro 3, and we do offer that as a selectable option on this product.

The 2-of-each kit you selected does not include Micro 3 taps, as that fuse style is not commonly used across most vehicles. We also note this on the product listing so customers who need Micro 3 can choose that option separately.

We understand the inconvenience, but the Micro 3 option was available at the time of purchase and is specifically intended for vehicles like your GMC.

These work well

BlackboxMyCar Add-A-Fuse Kit for 2024 Subaru Outback

This worked perfectly for hard wiring my dash cam. Saved tons of time and money. Also made a job that I would have never attempted to do on my own definitely able to do in a couple of hours. If you’re hard wiring, you must use these. A+++

A must have

A very easy way to put complete fuse protection on a power lead without disrupting any OEM vehicle wiring. Excellent device.

frustrating, fuse broke as soon as I pulled it from the adapter. As context, I was going to install it in an empty slot, however the camera was not turning on, as soon as I pulled the fuse to put the car fuse in the right position and the plastic structure of the fuse did not resist

We're sorry to hear that you're having some frustrating issues with your dash cam, specifically the fuse breaking during installation. It's important to use the correct type and rating of the fuse to avoid damage and potential hazards.

If your dash cam isn’t turning on, please check that all connections are secure and that the power source is functioning. Inspect the supplied fuse for compatibility as well. If you continue to have problems, we’re here to help.

Please reach out to us for assistance with your dash cam. We're here to help.

Great package

Only thing i wish I'd get with it, is different size fuses besides the 20A that came with it.

Plug and play

Very easy installation, and very useful.
Everything came as it should.
Kudos to Blackboxmycar !
Great Team !

Low Profile Mini cable wasn't a good fit

When installing on my 5G Outback, had issues with the low profile mini - the plastic insert for the low profile wasn't sized properly in the add-a-fuse. So it didn't fit in the fuse holder. Rather than sanding it down, opted to use the mini add-a-fuse instead.

There was no issues with that work around.

Otherwise, documentation, the system, and installation worked great. Going into this, it was actually the part of the installation whcih I didn't worry about at all. It ended up bering a pain but not a show stopper.

Makes install very simple. Great product

Great customer support.
