Hi all,

I'm looking at installing a 12v socket that is fed from an ignition live, rather than the original socket which is a constant live.

What's the best way to do this?

I've read that the only way to do this, without cutting into original cabling, is to get an "add a circuit" piggy back fuse and use it to replace the fuse of an 'item' that is only on when the ignition is on?

Would it then be okay to still run that original item and the 12v socket from the same feed?

Any help would be appreciated please

Thanks in advance
 
1. install a relay before 12v socket, control it with a circuit that is live when ignition is on.
2. get a schematic of your vehicle wiring and re-wire the socket...
