T6.1 Additional USB port needed

[Derjoboven]

Hi everyone!

I just got a brand new 2023 T6.1 for work.
It only has the 2 USB-C ports on the dash under the head unit. Problem is I need 3 of them. One for my dash cam, one for my phone charger and another one for the apple carplay adaptor.
I can use a double USB adaptor on the cig lighter but, like the USB-C ports, it is always on and I don't want my dash cam to be on all the time, I want it off when I turn the ignition off.

Anyone got an easy way around to have their dash cam off when the car is off?

I tried to use my dash cam hardwire fuse kit but all the fuses under the steer wheel seems to have constant 12v going through it.

Thanks

Has anyone used one of these kits to add and extra usb in the dash. I’ve fitted one and seems to work fine. Just wondering if anyone had had any problems / or can see a problem.

At least one of the fuses under and to the right of the steering column has a key-on live as I used it for my dashcam. Just needed a piggy back plug for that and the live feed.
