I was trying to keep the dash cam running while the car is parked. To prevent battery drain completely, I tried to use the Power Magic Pro that shuts off the dash cam power when the voltage is lower than a threshold. It has three cables: one for the ground, one for the constant power, another for the switched power. My question was what the constant power is in the fuse box tab. It seems that I currently connected both to switched power.

As long as it is on a switched power source, you don't have the problem.

Thanks for explanation, I don't see the "High Battery Drain When Stopped" alert, so it seems I'm just connect to a switched power.
I found this video that describes hardwire in F30.. Maybe I'll try again with some other fuse tabs..
