dalepearson Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Should all A3's have the 12v socket in the boot? Mine doesnt, and its something i used to use often in my previous car. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I think it might be part of an upgrade pack, thats spec'd when ordered. but im sure someone with a New A3 might be able to enlighten you. Perhaps you could add your cars to your profile, as most people havent a clue what car you have, unless they have seen your previous post about lightbulbs, wheer it was mentioned. This forum has: Older A3,S3 and the Newer A3 models, so just "A3" can be a little confusing and may explain lack of replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h5djr Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 The 12v socket in the boot is part of the Luggage Pack. I ordered my A3 with this option mainly to get the 12v socket. I know a similar socket can be purchased from vagparts. This would obviously mean fitting and wiring it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalepearson Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Many Thanks. I will have a look into that. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw955 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I am thinking of getting the socket from Vagparts but don't really want to run a wire all the way from the fuse box. I'm going to see, when I get chance, if the wiring loom is in place already for the socket - anyone know what colour wires I am looking for?

h5djr Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 No sure about the 12v in the boot, but the wiring to the 12v socket/cigarette light is 1.5mm Red/Black. I recently fitted a GPS receiver to the underside of the centre armrest and ran the power wire through the centre tunnel to connect to the 12v/cigarette lighter socket and that was quite straight forward. There may be existing wiring behind the Right hand side (as you look into the boot)panel of the boot as that is where the boot 12v socket is located on my A3.
