dash cams and ignition switched live

Post by cbkernow »

My existing dash cam uses a very long cable that runs down to the a cig lighter socket. In my previous vehicle it was switched ignition live so the camera turned off when the vehicle shut off.

Passat seems to have permanent live sockets and I worry about leaving it connected full time for fear of flattening the battery.

a) Is it possible to rewire the front lighter to be switched live
2) Can I access 12v switched form the auto dimming mirror?
iii) other ideas?
