Rear Window Dash Cam Supply

[Steve Pole]

Hi All,

I have recently "hard wired" a spare Trandscend DP200 dash cam to use in the rear window of my 2017 B9 A4. Upon connecting the supply lead to the fuse box in the luggage compartment it would appear that all fuses are "permanently live" i.e. NOT controlled by the ignition. Consequently the dash cam is recording all of the time even when the car is parked and ignition is off.

I would have thought the the 12v socket in the luggage compartment (which is controlled by the ignition being on) but there is no mention of it in the handbook fuse chart. Apart from unplugging the lead from the dash cam after every journey (which is a pain, it being in the back), is there any alternative to be able to control the supply via the ignition. I do not want to use the 12v socket for the supply.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated,

Regards

Steve
