I think all the electrics in the car are canbus. The main thing is whether it's a monitored circuit or not.

so i need canbus led or canbus ledstripe( if there is available)  and just solder it without any problem.

i think boot led, and glove box led not monitored

where are you going to fit the stripe?

if you wire it to this is will be fine as low as its led (low current)

i suppose we are talking about the same leds. trunk has 2 leds, one on each side. 

 

the truth is that i worry too much because i read that this car may have problems to bcm and generally i can't do anything .

 

the same problem with my headlights. i would like to  upgrade them to hid or led and i read that there is big chance to cause an expensive problem.

 

the only exception is if i use relay with resistors. is this 100% safe for my car ??  octavia 2014 model with halogen and reflectors
