Hi, sorry I have been away and just seen this message.
If I remember correctly I ended up taking the switched live from the washers and had an empty slot which was a permanent live so used that. Not had any issues with it so far.

Yes, same way up. Wire coming out to the left.
Thanks for your help much appreciated
I can’t quite believe the instructions for hardwiring the Thinkware Q850 into the fusebox. No way am I going to do it like this!
That's... Different
I've seen some fuse tap type clips that try to do similar and bring a terminal up from the fuse and never liked the idea but that's in another league entirely.
They’re a bit tidier I guess
@ginkster Not sure if you can help with this but today I wired the cable to connect to reverse light ( Green and Black ) tried it and switched to reverse camera working as expected, however went for a drive this evening and it kept switching randomly between normal rear view mode and reverse mode ( with guide lines ) which never happened before attaching the wire any thoughts why this is happening?
It's usually because the reverse light isn't a simple circuit like in traditional analogue vehicles, it's an actively monitored circuit and uses PWM so the pulses can trigger the reverse function.
The best way of solving that is to have a module that reads the reverse signal from the canbus and generates a switched +12v feed.
Failing that some folks have had success with filtering or relays, see this post from @Deaky
Reversing camera change over relay, permanent live.
Hi all, after some advice please . I have wired in my after market reversing camera and all works fine with ignition on and reverse gear selected. But when I start my T6 the screen goes off. I understand I need a relay which I have ordered, but the relay needs a permanent live. As the relay...
Thanks for the reply, I don't really get anything you just said haha may just remove it and switch it manually with out the cable.It's usually because the reverse light isn't a simple circuit like in traditional analogue vehicles, it's an actively monitored circuit and uses PWM so the pulses can trigger the reverse function.
