    Hello,
    I have a question, I plan to install an additional cigarette lighter socket in the audi a4 b6 sedan.
    The car has only one socket (with a fuse in the 15A box).

    How can I connect an additional socket? Can I easily plug in the installation with the current lighter, or is it better to pull a new cable from the battery?

    I am thinking of one or two additional sockets so that I can connect a fridge, webcam and possibly a phone charger.

    Regards [/ TD]

    The camera and charger are max 5A, and how much does this fridge have?

    DC 12V power supply: 46W cooling, 42W heating

    It says so, that's about 3.8A. Theoretically. I count as well.

    But I do not rule out connecting other things. I am definitely thinking about the nest because of the fridge.

    Generally, I recently connected a fridge and a webcam to the splitter. The fuse went off and the end of the branch flared up in the lighter socket

    That is why I wonder if it can be under one.

    The splitter was probably too weak, but I wouldn't have any adventure anyway.

    I was thinking about installing something like this: https://allegro.pl/gocketo-zapalniczki-hermetyczne-12-24v-15a-pls35a-i7439915592.html

    If the socket did not make it to you, insert the second one, just remember about the fuse and the appropriate cross-section of the wires.

    It didn't work out, but as I said, I had a 3-way splitter not from some higher shelf, which is probably why.

    I mean more if I can connect to this socket and make a second or maybe some suggestions on what to connect to make another socket

    Make the second one on a separate line, on a well-known auction site on a, a LMST sells "Bypas Mini fuse" or "Bypas flat fuse Uni". Choose the one that will fit your fuses, plug in the box where the fuse was from the socket and you have branched, although the seller does not write anything about the cross-section of the cable of this miracle, or about what current it can be charged. Alternatively, fasten directly to the clamp (there are those with a place for branching and fuse) and pull the cord where you want the socket, more fun, but probably more confident.

    Dammit, I didn't know it was even like that. So I plug it in place of the current fuse, plug in the plus (this cable from Baypas) from this to the new lighter, minus the catch from the mass anywhere the body to catch and that's it?
    Do i understand

    possibly also a switch (switch) in front of the socket, that I could turn them on and off as if I had not used

    Added after 14 [minutes]:

    And I have a question, what fuses to connect there then? the original was 15A, i.e. 2 15A fuses?

    Until you raised the subject, I also didn't know that such miracles exist :) . You understand well, I looked at the sellers of the invention looking for load capacity, one wrote that up to 30A but it is possible that it is a value for both lines together, in total the fuses are also rather larger so I would give 15A for each and it should be ok for me I also have 15A per socket in the car. As for the switch, you can look for which of the fuses is only after switching on the ignition and plug in there. You can try to find the mass on one of the screws, put an eye on the cable, under the screw and hey banana.

    Will the 1.0mm2 cable (because it is in baypas) good for connecting the power supply to the new lighter? Is not too thin?

    I found a bypass with 2.5mm2 but according to the calculator for 15A and 1m cable it should be ok at 1mm2.

    The user of LMST is just 1mm2,
    And here is the question whether it will be ok to connect the second socket and on the same cable.
