Looked for diagrams and searched all over forums but could not get any information. Installing Garmin camera with parking record feature, but need to run a wire to an always on Fuse that doesn't shut down after 6 minutes. Any idea which one I could use?

Thanks!! :)

Knowing/learning how finicky the BMW/Supra batteries are, I'd refrain from a direct hookup to battery, unless Camera specifically says it uses bare min battery and you've done the math for worst case recording scenario...unless you're ok with being stranded... You can for sure carry battery jump kit, which I have one from Costco and saved my 86 bunch of times...
Your best bet may be bimmer forums.

A/C fan and remote vent are surely getting always on signal.

The power harness has a battery voltage cutoff. So hopefully I should be okay. But I do agree our battery seems to be very sensitive and have been double thinking about even using this feature
