Fuse Panel Layout

[David Elkins]

Hi.
Q1.
Looking to connect a Garmin dashcam to my 2024 Macan EV.
No handbook supplied and info on MMI does not give details on fuse locations and which fuse covers what equipment.
I need a switched 12V supply location ie from cigarette lighter and a permanent 12V supply.
Fuse Panel details or a wiring diagram would be appreciated.

Q2. If a fuse fails does the MMI tell you which fuse and its location ?

There are some threads with fuse layouts in this forum if you use the search field above. However, those are from the Audi e-tron Q6, which is close, but not identical.
For a left-hand-drive (right-side traffic) Macan EV:
There is one fuse box in the frunk, up towards the windshield wipers.
There is one fuse box in the passenger side footwell, outside side wall.
There is one fuse box in the trunk, on the left side, below the rearmost netted storage compartment. (the compartment just pulls right out to reveal it)

For what it's worth, I highly recommend the FitCamX instead, which comes with a perfect fit to the rear view mirror front cowling, and comes pre-wired to insert into the rain sensor power plug that's available in the roof right there. It looks 100% integrated and hookup is easy -- although somewhat fiddly to get to the right parts of the whole ceiling assembly. (There are youtube videos)

Another option is to find the same wiring harness/plug as the FitCamX uses (there are some on Ali Express I'm told) and use that for power; it will require significantly less wire running than going all the way to the footwell.

I've used the Garmin obd cable. Cleaner and easier
