I'm looking to purchase a new VIOFO A119 MINI 2 dash camera with the HK4 hardwire kit and I have the option of the wires pre-attached to fuses. However which fuse do I need? I'm looking to have it on 24/7 with parking mode enabled for when I'm out (activated with alarm and doors locked). Do I get the mini, ATO, mini low profile, or micro? I did find this fuse layout PDF but it doesn't really help me I don't think? Just tells me what is used and what isn't.

According to my Amzn orders, I used MINI taps for my A119v3
best pull the fuse you plan on tapping and make sure it's the same.

I have the HK3 kit for my 129 Pro.
2019 Golf R and this is how I attached mine to the fuse panel.

Yah I saw this photo before but I couldn't tell which fuse you used. I guess you used mini just like @nosmirk?

I wired mine slightly differently so I used mini plugs. Alarm (red) /DRL (yellow).
The large ones are ATO, iirc.

Looks like Salami used cig/audio

So I guess it's not just one fuse spot?

Most use the Cig and one other. There's quite a few combinations to choose from.
I went a little different cause I had a fridge plugged in at the time. Small chance of popping the fuse, but better safe and all.

If I have to redo it for a new camera, I'll probably be more similar to how Salami did it.
