Hello All,

I've got a few devices that I'd like to power off of the 135i N54 fuse box.

1. Dashcam
2. iPhone Charger
3. Radar Detector
3. JB4 Connect Kit

I'd like the power to be received from the battery to these devices only when the ignition is turned on. I've identified that fuse No. 5 exhibits this behaviour.

I've purchase a fuse tap and would like to know if I can connect all 4 devices, to the same fuse tap No.5, or do I need to find 4 x seperate ignition fuse locations individually.

I was thinking that I could have all the device hot (red) wires connect to the fuse tap hot wire together, then have all the ground wires connect together to a bolt on the chassis.

Will this work?

Thanks.

i'm using also fuse #5 10Amp for my USB power for the JB4 Bluetooth,

your dash cam and other devices requires USB connection or same as lighter socket, I guess its better for you to have something as USB hub or sockets so you have 1 tap to the fuse then connect the devices via that hub.

I've purchased something like this. Do you think this will be fine running all 4 devices from the one 10 amp fuse (#5)?

Thanks

I have one of those. Blew the fuse the second day I had it. (radar detector/power cord for Bluetooth AUX input blew it)

I put a 15amp fuse in it since with no issues powering the above 2 items along with charging a phone or two.

Thanks for sharing, I'll make sure I drop in at least a 15amp for sure then..

Cheers.
