Thanks for all the kind advice. just an update: I purchased a generic hardwire kit recommended by the dashcam supplier. Managed to plug it into a spare fuse socket , which coincidentally runs on ACC power and not permanently on. Now I have a hwk with battery protection which only runs on ACC power. Go figure! 😜

Thank you @SkudMissile21, I’ll have a look at this option as well. I’ve also been advised by the manufacture that I can get a hardwire kit for the dash cam, which kinda is opposite of what I wanted to do. With the hwk, the dash cam will be always switched on until it detects a low battery voltage, by which time it will cut power to the dashcam. I guess this could be an option as my main aim was to prevent battery drain. Once again, thank you all for your suggestions. You’ve been very helpful !

Thank you @langers2k. Will see if I can source a hard wire kit from the manufacturer

Hi All, I’m new to this forum . I’ve recently installed a dashcam that came only with a cigarette socket plug. No surprise to some, the cigarette power socket is permantly powered. I’ve tried searching (My question may have already been answered) but can’t seem to find the answer. My question is: is there a way to have the cigarette lighter socket to switch off when the ignition is off, and switch back on when the ignition is on? Skoda Superb 206 - 2016 model

Hello all! New to this forum I own Skoda Superb 206 - 2016 model (current generation ). I’ve had it for almost 4 years now and love that car. Looking forward to learning from fellow Skoda Superb owners regards
