It will not auto switch on and off with the ignition key
You will have to remember to power it on and off manually
YesOhhhhh so like just head head unit on button or something — sorry, still a bit dense
Piggy back fuse
Not our car but the principle is the same around the 5 minutes
Bonus is it's easy reversible if you sell the car
As long as the total current is less than the circuit was designed for,This is brillinat
Quick question: is it okay to add two things to the ignition? Like if I wanted to do stereo and dash cam?
Thank youuuuuuAs long as the total current is less than the circuit was designed for,
Radio is only a sense wire so negligible
If you keep to original fuse value in place as in the video it will never cause any damage
Dashcam you will have to look at it's maximum current draw, most will be quite small and okay, there might be some at 2A or more, my door bell camera for example is 2A while charging, still doable but I would have to be more careful which circuit got piggy backed
OEM radio detects the ignition off by canbus, and just worksMost radios have an auto power off feature. If you do forget they shut off with a time delay after ignition off. I set mine to zero seconds. Some have a set time with the ignition off. When you forget the radio is on, it will switch itself off after a time delay.
I did a ‘momentary’ switch on for some air horns I put on my panda, everyone used to look around for the unseen truck, but that wasn’t using the actual blank other than a place to hold in the screw in switchI was also wondering if it would be possible to put an actual button behind the dumby button on the console panel.
Has anyone done that?

I just fitted an Eonon X3 to my 2011 Panda 4x4 , and it switches on and off with the ignition. Simply unplugged the original cd/radio and plugged in the Eonon.OEM radio detects the ignition off by canbus, and just works
Third party radios as in this thread have no canbus
No canbus, no ignition on or off detection, no automatically switching off.
If you want the radio to automatically switch on and off a method of detecting the ignition switch has to be added
I have no idea what's going onI just fitted an Eonon X3 to my 2011 Panda 4x4 , and it switches on and off with the ignition. Simply unplugged the original cd/radio and plugged in the Eonon.
It even has a volume knob. I’m very happy for the $129.99 I paid.

Cars with steering wheel buttons also have an ignition-operated power supply on pin 7
