Switched feed- which fuse box

**Sparky_143** · 31-08-2013,08:46 PM

Hi all
I have a blackvue in car camera and want to wire it in as a permanent fixture to keep all the wires hid as well as possible
I want to hard wire it straight in the fuse box but am unsure which fuse box to go to.
Should i goto the drivers or passengers fuse box and which fuse carrier black/brown/red for a switched feed
Thanks

You should have a fuse box in the end panel of your dash.

I'm watching this thread with interest as I too have just bought two Blackvue's for both cars and wanting a switched feed

This post here is what I'm looking for - Non vag black box dash cams? - Page 2

was reading the handbook and it says there should be a drivers and passenger fuse box, just need to know which fuse box/ colour I need to aim for

I'd also like to know where I can find a switched live in the drivers side fuse box so I can hardwire a feed for my Tomtom...

Have you seen these?

Hopefully someone will share their pearls of wisdom with us soon

ok, looking the handbook I think, drivers side black and brown fuse carriers are switched from what the have on them and red is permanent because it does things like interior light, sunroof etc Passenger side I reckon black is switched because it does diagnostic connector and brown is permanent because it does light switch etc.

also, a bit off topic, I see there is a fuse for clutch sensor. so, using cruise control when I dip the clutch cruise stays active yet in my old car dipping the clutch would deactivate it. is this just an audi thing or could my clutch sensor be an issue, cheers

That's normal for cruise.

Check each fuse with a multimeter with the key off and on, I'll be doing this tomorrow on the a6.

normal that it doesn't go off when clutch is dipped? I don't have a multi meter, really need to get one, can you let me know what you find please

Yep, normal that it doesn't go off when you dip the clutch to change down or up, tap the brake and it will go off. Same as my A3.

I don't have one either but a spark next door will have one. Not sure how much use of it will be suitable as my A6's fuse panel is probably different than your A4.
