Piggyback DCDC fuse or splice ignition wire

[Rayvk]

Hi guys,
About to connect up a REDARC 1240D dcdc system into my T6 and am just wondering whether anyone has piggybacked on any fuses in the centre console for the ignition wire (due to the smart alternator in the T6). If so what fuse slot worked? Has anyone found and spliced it directly into the ignition wire, this seems to make sense but im a bit scared to do so.
Thanks,
Ray

Convert top dash 12v to ignition live

If you have a T6 you can piggy back any fuse in the centre column/top half of the fuse box. This will give you ignition live.

Or you can add a wire into the back of the fuse block using an end terminal crimp and have a dedicated fuse for your needs, no piggyback required.

adding a 5A power circuit to Fuse Box C

adding a 5A power circuit to Fuse Box C (using vacant slot, not add a fuse) I recently added a couple of 5A power circuits to the fuse box on the left side of the dash. Thought I would pass along what I learned. ---- Pop off the fuse panel cover on the left side of the dash board using a trim...
