I was looking to hardwire a Blackvue dash cam box set-up and wondered if anyone had any photos or instructions of the fuse box location/s in the 2024 LC? I appreciate any help you can give me. I am installing a Blackvue DR970X-2CH Box Plus, https://www.blackboxmycar.com/products/blackvue-dr970x-2ch-box-plus-4k-uhd-cloud-dash-cam

There are two power points in the cabin.....
1 - A fuse box located under the glove box (remove the trim panel underneath).
2 - Near the rearview mirror, under the trim is a connector for the OEM mounted dash cam.
3 - A third power source is easily assessable by running a wire through the firewall (hole and grommet are already there you just have to run a wire through it) to the Dvr's side fuse box and use a fuse tap in one of the empty slots (always hot or hot with key on)
EOD, on the 2024 LC, can you give me a frame of reference of where to find the grommet going through the firewall?

Sure, DVr's side engine compartment firewall, almost to the windshield.

I have found the HF 5/8 grommet and turquoise silicone cap (poked through the wires) work great in place of that plug as I now have like 8 or 9 wires running through that hole. keeps everything in and water tight to my experience and we have gotten a ton of rain recently here in TX.

Just my recommendation............ if you are installing a relay bank under hood, I would run a trigger wire for each relay in one bundle through the firewall.
In my case I used a 6 relay bank, I used one relay as an ACCY (Hot with key on) feed for a buss bar mounted behind the dash. I also ran one wire as an "always hot" feed behind the dash. So I ended up with 8 wires bundled together and fed through the fire wall. I have only used 3 of the relays for actual things and the other three wires are neatly coiled and reside behind the L/H dash trim panel. These have been designated for other items to be installed at a later date.
The purpose of the ACCY buss bar........... All of the switches I have installed so far are being powered by the ACCY buss as I don't want to accidently leave one on. Examples are; my air compressor and radar detector.

I'm a big fan of bus bars; selling ATVs and SxS vehicles, we install a lot of them for the very reasons you mentioned.
On my golf cart, I installed the relay in the photo and it worked like a charm.
