I tried this, but it didn't work. BTW, I got my S4 earlier than I expected.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/219474.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/219474.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Being lazy, I used a piggyback fuse holder as shown in this picture

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/14388/v1-piggyback.jpg">
In this case, I borrowed some juice from the #37 fuse (windshield washer electronics) to power the V1. I added a second 25A fuse to match the original and just shoved it in. This is a switched circuit which is only on when the ignition is on so you don't run down the battery.

Default Being even lazier..

I listened to the advice of another on here (sorry, don't remember who) and simply wrapped the power wire around one prong of the #37 fuse and pushed it back in. Works like a charm.

Default In that case I am being elegantly lazy with my neat and tidy piggyback fuse holder :)

Which I already had from the v1 install in my previous S4.....

Default Don't have my S4 yet, but have a question for you.

Where is the fuse box located? If it is in the engine bay, where was the grommet or access through the fire wall located?

Thanks for any help.

Default fuse box is easily accessible. it is on the right side of the dash.

hidden by a cover that "pop" off. there are 3, i thnk, clips that hold it in place. there is a little slot that the end of your key fits in that allows you to pop out one clip...then just move your hands up and get the others

piece of cake.
