V50 Electrics : 12V Socket in boot of V50

[gav313]

Hi all,

Looking for a little advice as I haven't been able to find much information that answers my question.

The 12V power supply in the boot of my V50 is constant power but I'm looking to power a dash cam from there as it's easier than using the centre console.

Is there any way of changing the power supply around so that it operates only when the ignition is on (as the centre console 12V does)?

Thank you

It might be able to change this through software, so may be worth a phone call to your local dealer?

Alternatively you could add a manual switch to the dashcam's power wire?

just take the console off and make a connection to the back of the power socket for your camera .
