There are several blank fuse positions that can be used.

Fuse 85 in the passenger footwell.
I have an LW but I don't see why Ford would use a different fusebox for a MK3.5

No, it turns off when you turn accessories off which is what I wanted it to do.

I used another fuse before where the power was always on but I found it drained the battery quite a bit. I have a small battery now between the dashcam and fuse box.
