Tapping into the fusebox is the most un-invasive route you can go because there is no splicing or cutting of any wire. Therefore, Audi will never know if you tapped your power from the fusebox. Plus, I highly doubt that ANY electrical issue will appear when you get some power from an unused fuse slot.


This is exactly how I hard-wired mine.

I was looking into installing via the fuse box, but had trouble finding any stud that would work for the ground. Were you able to find one that was easily accessible? Could you post a picture of your fuse box with installed wires? Thanks!

Take a look at this fellow A7 owner's photos for his install. You want tap the ground to the shiny bolt on the left towards to firewall.
