Hi Guys,
Have a question regarding the 12 volt accessory plugs in MY13 D4.I would like to plug a work light into one of the plugs with out it switching off when the system goes to sleep. Is there a way of getting around this so that i do not have to have the ignition on all the time.

Yes - some options:
1) make up a cable that you clamp directly to the battery.
2) install separate circuit from the battery, ideally via a switch and fuse.

If the wiring is the same as all preceding D3s & D4s then replacing the appropriate relay with a jumper fitted with 2 spade terminals will do the trick.

Thanks Graeme for that but next question is where is the relay located,any help in this would be appreciated.Another thing is,would this be compatible with a dual battery kit if i were to fit one
