Hi, all new to this, so apologies for any errors in posting.
I have a new t6.1 kombi 199, but no fuse box layout.
Looking for an ignition live fuse I can piggy back off of for a dash cam etc, the fitted 12v sockets are all permanent live.
Was going to look for daytime running the lights fuse, would that be okay?
Any hints tips greatly accepted, fuse box layout would be good start, can't believe you don't get one in the manual.
Apologies again if this has already been talked to death on line.
Cheers

Couple easy ones in the cabin fuse box that are typical vag one sided fuse locations for different add ons if you’ve got some vag wiring connections can just pop out in the back of the fuse box or like you say pop in a piggy back fuse but just not as neat

Can send you a quick picture of it helps ?

First pic is of panel , I’ve put a piggy back fuse in This picture now hard wired as I wanted to make sure it was a reliable feed

In the fuse box it’s the middle row and third from the top

Sorry mate if you look at the empty holders there will be a couple that have one terminal, these are normally either constant or ignition feed, if you have a test light but better still multi meter can check then can piggy back or hard wire

When you fit the piggyback make sure the tail is pointing up and not down, otherwise your new circuit won’t be fused.

From which number fuse did you end up taking the ignition live feed?

Can you tell me which ones you used for ignition live and pemanent live in the end please? I've got the same T6.1 fuse layout as you.
Also did you find somewhere to earth, I cannot see an obvious place in or near the fuse box?

Red: 12V Ignition switched live fuses.
Blue: The Common +12V side

I haven't look for a decent Ground point yet... That's a job for next month for me... watching this thread!

How do you fit the ‘missing‘ terminal for the fuses in the red box. I hope that makes some sense.

I just used the piggy back fuse without the additional terminal and all working fine. May eventually tap off the one terminal at some point.

I'll be fitting a dashcam to my 6.1 Cali when it it arrives, how did you route the wires to that fuse box, was it tucked into headlining, remove A pillar trim and then feed from corner of windscreen behind dash to fuse box, that's the route I took on my old 5.1.

Thanks

Yes, pretty much that but I ran wire down the A pillar and through the side panel. Ended up in front of the fuse box.
