I need to find a live feed - preferably in the Dash Fuse Box, that is only live when the ignition switch is in the run position. Anybody got any information, please? 2017 290.

News to me. My 2005 Hymer & 2012 Le Voyageur were both wired to OEM connections.Sorry, thought you were cracking a joke. Radios have been wired independent of the ignition circuit for the last 15 years or so. That's so you can listen to the radio with the engine not running, like on a site.
Nope ... our dealer fitted Kenwood can't be used with out the flipping ignition on (no engine running needed)!Sorry, thought you were cracking a joke.

They've probably just not connected the permanent live?Nope ... our dealer fitted Kenwood can't be used with out the flipping ignition on (no engine running needed)!
Just what I was thinking. Why use an inverter to change 12v DC to 240AC when the laptop's power adapter turns it back to low voltage DC?wouldnt it have been easier to get a 12v charger for the laptop?

Yes, I just have to get round to having a shuftie when I've finished my other jobs.You must have at least one permanent live somewhere as the radio would loose all stored info
AFAIK factory fit Fiat Ducato radios are wired as standard to the ignition circuit, as with cars. That was the case in my 2008 Adria as well as all of the cars I have had that I can remember. They all have an always live feed to maintain the memory, but it is not used to work the radio. My 2015 Hymer radio/CD/Sat Nav/reversing camera/ was wired to the hab circuit, but that was only because the dealer got it fitted and specifically requested it that way.Sorry, thought you were cracking a joke.

Hi Gellyneck, can you remember which one you used for the battery connection (permanently on) please?Ours is an X250 (13 plate) Ducato so maybe not the same layout as your X290.
I piggybacked our dashcam hardwire kit off F49 which is ignition switched.
Note it's only a 5A fuse in our board but as the dashcam is a low draw comfortable the wiring will be sufficient.
My Nextbase 412GW dashcam is designed to do that.Hi Gellyneck, can you remember which one you used for the battery connection (permanently on) please?
I've been using F33 but the dashcam goes off after a few minutes in parking mode and wondered if there was a timer on it!
