12v socket

Looking for a guide on changing the 2 dashboard 12v sockets from permanent to switched live. It's not critical but would just prefer switched so I can leave things plugged in. I know it's not as simple as swapping a couple of fuses and I know there are variations depending on how the van is...

Hi All. I'm hoping that you guys can help shed some light on my issue. I have a 3 way portable fridge (Dometic RC2100) which I use on the 3 pin house socket for chilling and loading, then on the 12v cigarette lighter socket for the journey, then obvs back on to elec or gas when camping. The...

Rather than repeat myself here is a post I made already elsewhere and people have come up short as to solutions. Floating here to see if anyone has any other possible solutions. I reaaaally don't want to have to do the whole dc to ac back to dc as it seems silly and very convoluted. When...

On my 2023 T6.1 both the cab sockets were factory wired to the factory fitted leisure battery. I‘d like to know if this was a standard change from T6 to T6.1s (2019 onwards) or whether it “just depends” on equipment fitted. Advice is often that you can charge the starter battery from one of the...

Hi all. Recently purchased a 2022 5 seater T6. It has 2 12 volt sockets. One by the gear shift and one above steering wheel on top of dash. Factory fitted. Neither are working. I have looked at all available fuse layouts and threads and they refer to the fuses being under the passenger seat...

Hi, I’m trying to add a 12v socket in rear of van. It will be run from the leisure battery fuse box. What size fuse should I use and what amp size cable. If I used a 15amp fuse would 17amp cable be ok? Many thanks in advance, from a first time post

My T6.1 appears to have permanentlylive 12 cigarette sockets. (I didn't have a factory fit leisure battery.) Where is the best place to get an ignition switched live?

Both 12v sockets (next to the gear shifter and the 12v socket above the instrument panel on the driver's side) are not working. I'm pretty useless, but guess that it's a fuse that's blown. I am a VIP member and have downloaded the fuse diagram but can't see the relevant fuse for these sockets...

Being a complete moron I plugged a 300W inverter into my 12v socket next to gear shift to test if my wife could use her hair straightener, all seemed ok on first setting until we put it on second setting (assume higher heat etc) the inverter turned off so me being a plum turned it back on and it...

Have looked at previous threads and some seem to conflict with what I’m finding. 2023 T6.1 Hillside Birchover Classic campervan; uses standard VW factory fitted aux battery fitted under passenger seat. I’ve just measured the voltage on both the upper and lower cab 12v sockets both with the EHU...

Hello all, i have a problem whit my t6.1 transporter commercial van. I cant find the fuse for the 12v charging socket next to the shifter. Can someone help.

Is there a way to disable the 12V cigarette socket when the key is removed / engine turned off? Only interested in software solutions, like via obd11.

I have a 2016 Multivan (TDI, 204, 4motion, DSG, Highline, Dynaudio) with a factory fitted battery under the driver seat. The car has a aux heater, electrical sliding doors (both sides), electrical driver seat. I'm trying to figure out if the 12V socket in the trunk and next to the backseat of...

Hi all, Searched on the forum for the answer to my question but no luck so far, hoping someone can help! Are 12v sockets fitted to the rear on a kombi as standard or dealer fit option? If so, which models & where? I ask as my 2019 Edition doesn't have one much to my disappointment.. Thanks Rob

Hi all! I'm in the process of deciding what extra bits and pieces are going into my T6.1 conversion and I arrived at the subject of 12v/USB power supply. I've been speaking with the company that will be doing the build and so far I'm thinking... 2x 240v Sockets 2x USB Sockets (Each with...

I'd like to install a webcam to keep an eye on the dog when he's alone in the van. I've got one from home with a 240V mains adapter which supplies the device with just 0.6A at 9V. I can easily find a USB cable with the right size plug, but my USB sockets are labelled as 5V, not 9V. Is there such...

Hello. First question on the forum from a new member. My 2016 T6 LWB doesn’t have a top tray 12v but does have a blanking plug. I bought an OEM socket and cables from a breakers that’s exactly for this vehicle. I’m going to wire it in to the ignition-on 12v supply using a piggyback. I’m aware...

OK folks, looking for advice here on where to put a USB socket and/or a 12v outlet for use by rear passengers in my twin slider Kombi. I have both a 12v socket and twin USB charger socket in the rear of the van which is good for plugging in fridge etc or general use while parked up. Although...
