Video tutorial

The youtuber, in this video, shows us how he modified his Volkswagen Caddy so that the cigarette lighter turns off when he turns off the van. In fact, he had installed a dash cam that does not have voltage detection and therefore remained on all the time if he forgot to unplug it. So, it happened several times that he left it on during the weekend, causing the battery to drain.

To make this modification only took five minutes, and the good thing is that it can be removed at any time by reconnecting the old fuse, which is number 47. In the video, we see that a cable has been inserted in place of this fuse.

Now the cigarette lighter only turns on with the ignition, just like the dash cam.
