Cigarette lighter/12V socket turn off always-on function
Hi. There are various threads addressing how to either turn on/turn off your cigarette lighter/12V socket while the engine is off, however they are not specific to the A3 8P. So my socket is currently always-on, even when the engine is turned off. It never turns off. It's not been an issue for...
read the page, halfway down it discusses how to hardwire
Yeah not long done mine.
Remove the fuse cover on drivers side and also the trim with the tweeter (be careful not to disturb the airbag too much otherwise it could trim the dashboard light).
Use a hardwire kit, I got mine from amazon, and plug into an ignition fuse.
Run the cable up the pillar, use double sided tape or clips to hold the cable away from the airbag. The trim above window pulls down enough for the cable to slide in nicely and connect to dashcam.
Replace trim and away you go. Use a ferrite core to sort out any interference for radio signal.
Quick job really.
