I'm running my thinkware via the official thinkware hardware wiring kit, this is standard size.

The wire is around 10ft and it wont make it to the trunk.

SO I have to splice in some cable for the rest 4 or 5 ft.

Now, depending on where it ends and it's usually at the seat, I "MAY" be able to secure the ground there or need to run it to the boot. So not sure if I'm getting 2 core or 3 core. I'm going to assume 3 core.

Now, the 2 wires, permanently live and switched live, if I remember from the previous setup, one went to a 5amp the other a 15amp fuse.

So I'm looking at a 22 AWG cable, which google says at 12v will carry 7 amps

The dash cam wont pull more than 0.5amp's according to it's specs.

So one wire on the 5 amp is fine, as fuse blows at around 5-7amps ? maybe, but the other one, is a 15amp. that's what worries me. IF something happens that fuse wont blow , I guess I can find another 5amp fuse,
not sure why they picked that one last time

is 22 gauge ok ? for both fuses
Should I try and find 2x 5 amp fuses
should I get a thicker gauge wire
does it matter if I get 2 or 3 wires and just earth it on the chassis

22AWG will be fine. Use a 2 amp fuse (if you can find them) for both leads.

That'll work.
