Ignition Switched Trunk Fuse?

[stellasgotboost]

I tried to tap F216 (Active Sound Design), and F214 (Active Sound Design and USB), but both stayed powered on with all doors shut, car locked, and head unit display powered down...

Am I going to need to add a manual in-line switch to ensure my air management is powered down? I really don't like that the compressor will continue to run with the engine off. I don't care if it *might* cut power after ~7 minutes...

edit: It took my car ~6 minutes to actually cut power... I might have to wire in a management kill switch. My other car's 3p management had a teeny tiny bit of parasitic drain and with how many computers exist in this car, I don't really like that.

I'm still open to alternative fuses to tap back there if anyone knows a good one!

F205 has ignition and is in a non safety relevant circuit
F206-210 will also work but are in circuits I would not tap into.

This fuse is empty on my car! What is F205 used for anyways?

Interesting.
In my EU spec car it's available but there is no mention in the manual what it's used for.
Maybe you can plug in a fuse tap and check if there are cables already connected to the slot?

Darn. It doesn't seem to even have pins in that slot on my USDM 2021. I'll end up wiring in a physical kill switch so I can make sure it's off when I want it to be. Was trying to avoid having to drill a hole for this but I guess it's a necessary evil.

You can still try F206-F210.
Just carefully check what they do and check for the correct orientation of the fuse tap.
