Hi guys, I have just fitted heated seats (aftermarket) to my wifes C220 sports coupe and to finish it off I am looking for an ignition only live supply in the fusebox by the side of the dash at the drivers door. Everything I touch with my voltage tester is live permanently. Does anyone know which of the supplies in this area are only live with the key on?:confused:
Thanks
Paul.

The radio and cigar lighter is key 1 and 2 so that would be OK.

But owing to the current drawn by these heaters, why not put a relay in, operated from the radio feed, and they contacts of the relay can be taken via a fuse to any 12 live buss bar

Hi Malcolm, I believe the comand unit is permanently live as I sometimes have the radio on when I wash the car. The seat kit comes with a relay and requires one permanent live and one from the ignition, (obviously to avoid flat battery situations). I will try the cigar lighter. Thanks for the help.
