2015 Ram. I will be installing a garmin dash camera and for the parking guard I need full time power and switched power. I know I can get switched power from the cigarette lighter. But what about the full time power? Anywhere under the dash to get this or get the switched power besides the lighter?

Run a wire from the fuse box, poke a hole through the plastic plate that covers the clutch pedal hole.
Another option would be probe the radio wiring harness for a constant +12V source.

This is an easy way to tie into your dash power outlets with-out splicining into the wiring on either outlet.
