Default Switched live Fuse

Hi everyone
Please could someone give me a fuse number I can piggyback off in my 2005 MG ZT 1.8. I’m sure someone must have asked before but I can’t find a definitive answer

Cheers

Chas

Is it the Early or Later style Fuse Board you have ?


On my "Later" style Board - I've used a Piggyback on Fuse 2 - mini fuse, far left 2nd fuse from the bottom

If you are plugging it in to the USB on the camera, you will also need a 12v to 5v converter with a USB lead.

I got one with a long enough to run from the piggyback in the fuse box, up the A pillar and under the headlining to behind the rear view mirror.

I got mine from Halfords - they do both a mini and a standard size depending which fuse board you have
