Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuse box
Operation: How to always keep the cigarette lighter socket active on Volkswagen/Audi/Skoda cars

This system applies to cars with MQB chassis, which are most of Volkswagen cars (excluding Polo), some Audi models (A3/Q2/TT) Skoda Octavia and Superb and Seat Leon. If we wanted to keep the socket always on even when the car is off, we can do it with a small modification on the fuse box. If you see in the passenger compartment fuse box - the one between the steering column and the driver's door - the big yellow 20 Amp fuse further down, we just need to move it one position higher, and the cigarette lighter will stay lit even at car off. In this way we can keep a power bank to recharge.
