Hello!

I'm sorry if the topic is a little bit off, but I need some guidance from the pros here.
I'm new in the world of cars since I recently got my first car. It's a Scoda Octavia 5 2009 model and I wanted to install a GPS tracker connected to the interior light. It has some room to fit it so it's a good spot I think.
But since I'm having zero electrical skills or wiring skills, I have zero clue of which is the positive/negative spots, so I can then connect the wires on that. I managed to do it in the battery because it obviously shows the +/- but on this it needs some more skills.
I also managed to find a video of how to disconnect the interior light so I have provided also a photo of it.
 

Thanks for any answer you guys might give.

I wanted also mention that the model of the interior light is the 3B0 947 105 c

I suggest this is not the place unless you have the soldering skills to connect to the copper tracks.

A better place might be to connect to the 12V cigarette type connector, if you have one, in the boot. You could connect to the rear of the socket (brown wire is -ve) and hide the tracker behind the boot trim. Make sure you have a 1A fuse in the wire between the socket and the tracker as this is a 30A supply that would otherwise destroy (cable melt/fire) the tracker if there was a fault. 

One advantage is that this is always live so you can track the car with the ignition off.

But it is essential to disconnect the battery before making any changes as the supply is always live.

Thank you for the response.

I now understand that this is not the correct spot probably if I don’t know how to sold them. Figured it out the wrong way today after I made the post.

Now no interior light is opening. Probably I burned a fuse of the interior lights.

 

About the cigarette connector, it was suggested to me to do it there, but I couldn’t find a way to disconnect all the pieces so I can place it somewhere there.

 

Might I will need the skills of a professional in the end.
