    Question Hardwired my Dash Cam, GPS, Alarm Light - Did I do it right?

    Hi Guys!

    Everything works as it should! Alarm light goes on when car is off & Dashcam/GPS turn on when car starts.

    But am I draining my battery? Because the "cigarette port splitter" has a power indicator. It shows that there's power (car off), even though it's suppose to turn on only with ignition, BUT the moment I plug in a device (such as GPS) into it, the power indicator turns off.

    In the Gen2 Mazda, there's a cig-port that's always on, and there's a cig-port that turn on with ignition. So I tapped into those via the fuse box.
