there's a useful webpage on using piggy-back fuses here .. https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/whic...old.30136/

(although some of the contributors seem determined to misunderstand the bleeding obvious Laughing )

my view would be take the new feed from the supply end of the fuse holder ( "position A" option in the diagrams posted in the link) of a suitable high current, non-critical, circuit and fit an inline fuse on your new circuit.

that way, you don't overload the original supply wiring and if your new circuit blows it's own fuse it's just a normal fuse that needs replacing and not the piggy-back fuse.
