I've started looking into fuses and circuits as I started exploring dash cam options. Notably, I was wondering whether options connector could feed 13.5A max for BlackVue B-124. I figured no as this is supposedly under RADIO circuit (fuse #21) and the fuse is rated 7.5A.

Then I started wondering how the head unit works, as I've recently installed AVH-ZL5150BT, which has 10A max current and has 10A fuse behind the unit. I also noticed the stock unit is rated 16.4A max. Both should be using the same power sources as I used the harness from autoharnesshouse.com.

Does this mean the circuit for the head unit does not go through fuse box? If that's the case, what exactly does RADIO circuit power?
