Under "Output tests" you can safely test individual components: combustion air blower, cabin blower, etc. Unfortunately in the OBDeleven it's not possible to set up a live data measurement at the same time (VCDS can).
I would try under "Basic Settings" - Heater operation...
I'm not sure it...
Hi all, but perhaps especially @Dellmassive and @TallPaul_S
I'm about to install my new Orion XS and, having read through the relevant bits of this thread, plus sundry others, I haven't yet arrived at a definitive answer to whether or not it is best practice to run an ignition signal wire to...
Ignition signal is normally taken from the centre section of the dash fusebox that is ignition switched.
There are generally no switched feeds under the seats unless you have the factory second battery, or full factory 13pin towing electrics and are willing to configure things with VCDS...
Hi all,
Looking for some help with a 2022 T6.1 and a CTEK D250SE install.
I’ve been trying to find a clean ignition‑live feed for the CTEK IGN wire. I originally used Fuse 40, then tried Fuse 47, but both behave inconsistently. Sometimes the CTEK shows the orange IGN light when I unlock the...
@Dellmassive not quite, not quite!
See my post here on 'How I done it' IgnitionLiveunder passenger seat (30 amp) ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT!!!
Might help someone!
Ok, so this is what I have under passengers seat, from memory the fuse is for the 12v sockets, but I haven't a clue what the relay is for.
The power to the fuse is only 12v when ignition is on but I'm wondering is the relay is only triggered when the engine is running.
My thoughts for...
I had seen a number of posts but a few people had also mentioned the board under the seat and was hoping that this could be used also I will look into that solution now though Thanks for the info
Strictly speaking a D+ signal is active alternator charging rather than just ignition on.
In a Transporter the factory fit relay isn't really D+ either, it's actively managed by the BCM as mentioned alongside the Start/Stop and load shedding during engine start.
But for the purposes of...
VW Additional Fusebox 000 055 212A for towbar, but could be used as an extra fuse box if fitting more 12v components. 12V ignitionliveunder the seats perhaps?
Was bought to fit a tow bar, but already had the wiring required from factory.

...to 'active' (bit 01) has proven that the 30 amp (YES 30 amp!) supply in J345 under the passenger seat is indeed now ignitionlive (I think in reality it might be engine running live from my initial observations)
But hey ho! I have have OEM(ish) ignitionliveunder the passenger seat - the...
Hi
I have been upgrading my radio setup in my VW 2023 T6.1 with some new gladen front speakers and tweeters with no problem but I have now decided to add a sub under the passenger seat this is where I might need a little help from somebody
I have installed the speaker under the seat and I am...
Nice,
assuming you have a T6.1 with the trailer electrics module. and the green U10 connector under the seat.
This thread was started as a T6 guide . . . but its good to start adding in T6.1 specific stuff.
It's not the board under the seat - there is (almost*) no ignitionlive there. For Dashcams you want to go for the fusebox in the middle of the dash, lots of thread around on this.
* if you have a factory fit second battery there will be a "charge" signal and if you have a factory fit towbar...
I use auto detection with my XS but it did take a while to get settings that worked with my set up. Works perfectly now. Easier for me than running a signal wire!
Sorry for what? I have forgotten how I installed them however if it was an ignitionlive then I already had various spares I had installed myself triggered from a relay under the pasenger seat feeding to a seperate fuse box above the battery.
...unharmed for the odd chance of me or somebody else actually plugging in a caravan at some point.
Seems T6 can be tinkered with as well, this is from OBDeleven:
EDIT: seems they can be tinkered in T6 but unfortunately results are not great: IgnitionLiveUnder Passenger Seat - How Its Done -
