Q7 Q7 2020 - switched live for dash cam?

[Rob G]

Hi all, l would be grateful for some help..

I’m trying to hard wire a Nextbase dash cam into my Q7 (UK 2020 model, 50 TDI). I cannot seem to find a switched live to piggyback from anywhere. Every fuse appears either dead or permanent 12v when tested.

Does anyone know a particular fuse location known to be switched live?

I’ve installed ok in my previous Audi vehicles including an A4 Avant (2019).

Is the new Q7 just a different beast?

Thanks, Rob

Hi ended up here looking omfor the exact same thing. Trying to fit dash cam to newly acquired Audi Q7. I found during testing of the fuses in the left foot well that the whole top row are switched lives and any suitable fuse can be piggybacked from there. Hope this helps
