Hi to all, anyone know why my cig lighter has now power from day one?. checked fuses all ok. its a mk7 GTD 4 door. 2015.

Are you trying it with the ignition on or off?

In all the recent VW’s I’ve owned, the 12v socket isn’t live with the ignition switched off. You need the ignition on or the ignition key turned to the ‘accessories’ position (dash warning lights illuminated but engine not running) for it to work.

As above but if you want it on permanently it is just a case of moving a fuse.
