T5.1 cruise control retrofit - where to get 12v ignition feed?

[meza]

I'm part way through cruise retrofit on my T5.1

Stuck trying to get the 12v ignition feed from a relay behind the BCM. Instructions imply a '643' relay behind the BCM but this is not present on my van.

Can anyone recommend where I can take a feed from instead? Thanks

It’s not on the other side of the panel is it? To the right of furthest right relay that is marked up 100?

oh! On the other side of that solid plastic panel? I'll check!

Yes mate, it looks like the relay is on the right of the panel I circled and marked with a X

I love a simple solution. Thank you.
This is what comes from working on the van late at night in the rain at -3C

I know that feeling, we get impatient and carried away. Roll on the summer (if we get one)
Let us know how you get on mate

I did it! All working including the additional trip function on MFD. 6 hrs at it today and a couple yesterday. What a pig of a job.
FU VW for not running that single wire from the ebox to the dash in the factory loom.

All set now for driving to the alps tomorrow
