permanent live 12v socket changed to switched live

whinfs · Dec 28, 2015

the 12v socket between the front seat on my A3 is permanently live. i want it to be switched.
I read that the newer A3's can have the position of the fuse moved to change between switched and permanent. can this be done on my 8P sportback?
(when i say moved i mean unplug the fuse and plug it back in a different position, the 8v A3 has it half in its original row and half in the adjacent row)...

Would like to know this, rather annoying if I'm charging me phone

That would require moving to another fuse point location that's free on fuses 1-11, so relocating the wiring is needed.

Not a feature on the 8p.

so could i remove the 12v socket fuse, and add a wire with an in-line fuse between its original location and one of the 1-11 fuse locations?

Its not something I would do for a client tbh.

Is it for a dash cam? If so piggy back a live from the fuse board and run it up the pillar and across the window
