    I can get power and ground from the cb power and ground wires. But where can I get the acc wire so when ever I turn the key the dash cam with turn on instead of having to keep using a cigarette lighter plug?
    If you wired yours up feel free to describe how about you got it done. Thx. 2013 freightliner cascadia

    Can you find a fuse in the fuse box that is powered on with the key?

    probably can, just have to get a long wire or figure out a good way to route it in.

    I would not attempt anything without consulting your trucks electrical diagrams. You risk causing intermittent issues with the circuit in question.
