These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Thanks for that So, correct me if I'm wrong RED-Green is 1 2V Always Green is 12V Switched Yellow&Blk is Phone Mute (whatever that means) Brown is Negative/Ground I'm just planning to use The Green 12V Switched with a hard wire kit for a dashCam and that's it basically.. so the cam switches on with the ignition. And the ground wire of the kit to the Brown Will that work guys? Thank You PS. Not all the pics came up in your original post with Flickr only the last one

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, after an exhaustive search and removal of panels, carpeting etc. I can sadly report my car doesn't have the phone connection . RoW penalty I guess. So I am now thinking splicing into the back of the cigarette socket with T connectors. There are 3 wires running into the back of the socket. Brown (I assume is ground) Red (I assume is 12V live) Light Blue thinner wire ( I assume is for the light ring around the front of the lighter when driving lights are on?) Anyway any other suggestions? Bear in mind I don't want to run a line down to the fuse box. Thanks
