MK4 Golf Cig Lighter to Go On and Off with Ignition?

[StevenMc29]

Just got a dash cam which auto starts and stops when 12v source does.

I would like this to be when ignition is on/off but it seems to be on constantly. Any easy way to change this?

Cheers

Use a fuse tap loom into the fusebox piggybacking off a ignition switched source like the rear wiper.

Is that as easy as it sounds? I don't really do electrics. Will I need someone to do it for me?

Just grab a multimeter and go to the fusebox.

As long as its just for the on/off switch current and not a full power source it should be grand.

I don't own a multimeter lol. Who would like to do this for a few beer tokens?
