cigarette lighter

Afternoon all I have just fitted a dash cam to my T6.1 and plugged it into the 12 V outlet in the centre console, the one near the gear shifter and it stays on when I turn off the ignition and lock the van I had ( possibly falsely ) that this would be switched with the ignition ? I am...

Afternoon all. A week back I noticed the 12v ciggie charger in the dash had stopped working. Just removed the passenger seat and found the 20 fuse under there had blown. Changed it. Worked for a bit and then blew again. Is there anyway of working out what is causing it ? Does anyone know...

Hi, T6.1/22plate/150bhp/stop-start/No leisure battery/manual. So, thinking about the 12v cigar(ette) sockets, to trickle charge the battery without leaving the bonnet open and wires trailing onto the street etc, I was thinking of getting an Ecoflow River 2 (or similar leisure power supply), and...

Hello. I am replacing the centre console comfort dash as the centre console storage compartment closable lid broke. I have the VW replacement part and have managed to remove the old one.... except I cannot find a way to get the cigarette lighter out of the old one! I've read the thread Cigarette...

Both of my 12V sockets on the dash (top one and the centre one by gear stick) have stopped working for some reason. I’ve checked the fuses in the central fuse box under the gear lever and these are ok. I changed the 20A one (SF11) for an LED fuse but this does not light and have checked the 15A...

Hi, my 12v cig lighter doesn't work and I believe there's a fuse box for this under the passenger seat. I can see some wiring and blocks and they seem fixed to under the seat. Are there fuses in there and how do I access them? I've checked other locations for the fuses and they seem fine. Thanks.

On my 2023 T6.1 both the cab sockets were factory wired to the factory fitted leisure battery. I‘d like to know if this was a standard change from T6 to T6.1s (2019 onwards) or whether it “just depends” on equipment fitted. Advice is often that you can charge the starter battery from one of the...

Hi all. Recently purchased a 2022 5 seater T6. It has 2 12 volt sockets. One by the gear shift and one above steering wheel on top of dash. Factory fitted. Neither are working. I have looked at all available fuse layouts and threads and they refer to the fuses being under the passenger seat...

Can anyone tell me how to remove this trim piece please ? I need to fit a new surround to the 12v socket. I’ve had the trim tools around it for the last 15 minutes, but I’m getting nowhere. By the damage around it, I’m guessing the last owner also had the same trouble, before giving up.

My T6.1 appears to have permanentlylive 12 cigarette sockets. (I didn't have a factory fit leisure battery.) Where is the best place to get an ignition switched live?

I thought this was an easy one but I can't find the answer anywhere. My van is all set up with power solar etc and great. However I want to use my mobile fridge in another car. I have a portable leisure battery I can use for the fridge when parked but how can I charge the battery from a...

Hello all, i have a problem whit my t6.1 transporter commercial van. I cant find the fuse for the 12v charging socket next to the shifter. Can someone help.

Is there a way to disable the 12V cigarette socket when the key is removed / engine turned off? Only interested in software solutions, like via obd11.

When we whet camping last week, I plugged our 12v cool box into the middle dash cigarette socket and it instantly blew. I've just changed the 15a fuse which was blown, but the socket still isn't working. Are there any other fuses controlling it? I have no fuses under the passenger seat as some...

Hi, Whilst having a clear out I found a 12v blank and a couple of packs of led bulbs! £5 delivered Pic:

I have a 3 year old T6 Edition. The 12V socket inside the small dashboard cupboard appears to be dead. I've looked at the various discussions on here about fuse locations etc. and my van doesn't seem to correspond with anything I've read! I cannot see any fuse box under or around the dash area...

I just want to find a lighter element plug that fits into the socket either on dash or below head unit. I thought one of them was for cigar lighter. I have a vw element and it doesn’t fit into either? Hoping someone knows the part number because I can’t find it.

Hi All, Just a quick question, I have a T6 Highline which is slowing turning from a panel van into a kombi/family/day van and am wondering if the two 12v sockets, one on the top of the dash to the right of the storage tray and the one lower down to the left of the gear stick are on the same...

I have a 2016 Multivan (TDI, 204, 4motion, DSG, Highline, Dynaudio) with a factory fitted battery under the driver seat. The car has a aux heater, electrical sliding doors (both sides), electrical driver seat. I'm trying to figure out if the 12V socket in the trunk and next to the backseat of...

Hi I would appreciate some help please. I connected the polarity incorrectly on a diy plug that went into the cigarette plug behind the the passenger seat on my T6 Cali Beach. When I connected an appliance there was a quiet click from somewhere in front. It is now not working. After following...
