ignition live

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 have just purchased a Garmin Dashcam Mini 2 to use as a rear camera in my T6. I have also purchased the Garmin parking mode cable to wire it in permanently. However I need to find an ‘Accessory 12v’ feed, i’m presuming this is a switched/ignition live? Where would I find a switched...

Hi All, I'm a new member to this forum and my problem is how to pick up a suitable engine run signal to activate the DC to DC charger. A couple of members suggested a new post but they did say that I could pick up a 12 v o/p from the central fuse box. However I have no idea which fuse and how I...

So I just fitted some swanky new spots on to the A bar and they look great.The spots have these nice DRL strips in each side and my plan was to tap into the DRL feed from the R/H headlight connector, This tap worked great for main beam and for the Sport DRL into dipped beam, but the Headlight...

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?

I know this subject has been covered to death but I don't know what you do regarding the OEM relay. So my van had the 2nd battery and I am planning the electrics going forward, I am going to put a lithium under the driver's seat hopefully and use the OEM wiring. So what do you do with the...

I’ve seen so many posts asking about wiring in an IGN cable. And to be honest it was really easy. I grabbed a cheap multimeter and done some checks, now my Solar & DCDC charger is wired in for me smart alternator. 5 minute job.

Does anyone know if there is an ignition supply feed I can pick up In the drivers door? Because I would like to put a wireless charging base in the top pocket of the door card.

We have just swapped our phones & the new ones have Magsafe wireless charging. They don't fit into our existing Brodit holders, so this is my plan:- Modify the existing Brodit holders to take a Magsafe wireless charging "puck" like these...

Hi all, I am currently trying to fit the CTEK D250SE to my T6 and I’m hoping for some clarity on the ignition cables. I have a dual purpose flooded lead-acid leisure battery and am wondering do I fit the black ignition cable to ground and the red to the fuse board or is that only for AGM...
