T6.1 Ignition live fuse

Did anybody conclude where to piggy back a live feed from on the T6.1? I'm a member and I've looked through the fuse layouts but it would be reassuring to hear from someone who has picked a permanent live and it has been reliable. (both in the sense of the cam working and no weird side effects).

Thanks!

Here you go from my 6.1 Cali, hopefully from the pic you can work out what fuses they are.

Just a heads up @Abx. The fuse tap on the left is upside down. The tail should be exiting upwards otherwise the common pin is on the wrong side and the load of your new circuit is taken from after the original fuse and not before.
 
Oh thanks, I’m sure I checked that with a meter but will check again, thanks for flagging.

I think the common positive is the other way around on that section isn't it (I.e. at the top)?

The way round I have it is that the 12v from the fuse box goes into both accessories and fuses them (car and dashcam), and if either fuse blows that respective circuit is protected, but if one blows the other still works.

Hope that makes sense.
 
Odd that you can see the supply side pins all on the RHS in these empty slots, strange they'd be on the other side in that row. I just don't get these new fangled 6.1's :cry: Apologies if it's correct @Abx

It’s ok, you did panic me though and I was straight out there with my meter! And yes why on earth would they swap them round one side to another, only VW know that I’m sure.
 
Hello,

I’ve bought the CTEK D250SE 12V 20amp Dual DC-DC Battery to Battery Charger Kit with 70amp 10mm Cable to fit a leisure battery in my T6.1 but it doesn’t come with the fuse to fit to the ignition starter.

Could anyone let me know what fuse I need and which slot to fit it in, it’s all a bit of a minefield!

I downloaded the diagrams from this site yesterday but I’m still unsure.

Thanks in advance!
 
Hi I have 6.1 and wondering where the red and yellow wires go , I already have slot 43 filled , I put the red in 47 (dead until ignition comes on then 12v ) so camera should work ? But doesn't
Also where does yellow go ?
Any pics please would help

Red and yellow wires off what? Do you have a wiring diagram for what you’re trying to fit?

You need to put piggy back fuses in the correct locations, you can’t just pop a wire anywhere, you need a 12v live and a 12v ignition, my pics above show both useable locations on my Cali.
 
Have you checked that you have the piggy back the right way round, and you are not feeding the camera with the negative side.

If you look at mine different rows have the positive on different sides, why, only VW knows…
