Hi all, new to an Enyaq Coupe, not new to the forum or Skodas in general.....

I've just bought a 2024 vRS coupe. I went to fit my dash cam to it and found a hardwire nextbase kit already fitted - result! Unfortunately, the fuse used was a permanent 12v live (!). I've since moved it to a switched 12v. I've been having app 'no connection' and 'battery protection' statuses.

Historically, my Superb L&K from 2014 had a dash cam running from the 12v socket, which, ultimately meant the start/stop 12v battery required replacement.

I'm wondering if the fact that the dash cam in my new car was connected to a permanent 12v has caused the battery to fail prematurely.

I think it's worth changing the 12v battery to a new one to see if it sorts the app status issues. Has anyone changed the 12v battery? Anything to look out for?

Cheers

Do you have 'Optimised Battery Use' enabled? This helps maintain the 12V by topping up from HV battery when required.
