Pulling 12V Power from Fuse Box?

I need to pull some power from my 2017 Fit EX to power a dash cam.
  1. Which circuit can I pull constant 12V power from?
  2. Which circuit can I pull accessory switched 12V power from?

Thanks!

Accessory 12V switched is a 7.5 amp fuse located in the fusebox under, and to the left of the steering wheel.


For 12V constant, I hooked that up to my sound system already installed, meaning I ran power wires through the firewall in the big, common wire bundle. The grommet is located under the steering wheel against the firewall.

Pulling power from the fusebox would be a LOT more convenient. Isn't there at least one circuit with constant power?

I found a fuse slot with constant power in my 2015 Fit. See the images I posted in this thread:

not sure why youd need constant power for a dash cam. youre going to drain the battery if ran while parked.

id just tap a switched fuse and only use while engine is running
