so i should just wire the cigarette lighter fuse to the rear wiper fuse location and that should make my cigarette lighter turn off when the ignotion is off?

mine is always live i checked, i have an audi a3 2011 8pa.

I have a reversing camera that is being powered by the front cigarette lighter as the cigarette lighter is always on even when the car is off the lights of the reverse camera stay on, is there any way i can turn off the cigarette lighter power when i turn off the ignition? thanks.

i disconnected the negative and it all worked perfectly, thanks. but then just my luck my camera died so i have to buy a new one, luckily i had a old reverse camera to test it out on.

yeah i connected it to the cig lighter in the front of the car so there is 12v when the lights are on, no earth wire came with the camera just a positive and negative. I connected the wire to the negative wire on the cig lighter.

So i got the power from the cigarette lighter today from the front, now everything was fine and worked until i pu on my headlights and the camera turn off. the camera seems to work when i have my DRL's on but not any other light, any advice? @Rideen

I don't have the 12v outlet in the boot but ill check tomorrow if the wires are there, thanks. There are 3 wires, one is red which is positive and then you have one that is brown and another one which has a stripe down it, which one of those two are the negative wire?.

Thanks I'm going to just wire it from the ciggerete lighter if I can't find another 12v wire. I think I'll connect the negative as well just incase

The reverse camera seems to work when I only connect the positive wire, does that mean I do not have to connect the negative wire?

yeah i realised that today and was trying to connect it to the cigarette lighters 12v wire. where could i find an 12v from inside the boot? and what wire would be negative and positive in the rear wiper cluster.

yeah the exact same, i don't really know whats causing it. everything is wired up correctly.

i have a canbus box but my reverse camera requires me to still connect the wire to the reverse light, so i did all the wiring today everything went well only problem is that when i turn on the ignition and go into reverse the camera works perfectly, but when i turn the car on and go into reverse...

I have an audi a3 sline 2011, i have been trying to connect an aftermaket reverse camera and was just wondering which wires on the reverse light connector would be the positive and negative wires? thanks,

Does anyone know how to remove the climate control from an audi a3 2011, thanks in advance!!
