My good lady would like me to install her dashcams in the Ateca. The front one should not be a problem but unlike her previous car this one does not have a 12 volt socket in the boot so getting a suitable power source for the rear facing dashcam may not be easy.
Has anyone managed to install a 12 volt socket in the boot of the Ateca or know of a suitable 12 volt supply that I can use?
Hi , don't know if this will help you but i solved this problem by routing an extension cable (Carviya High Power 12V-24V Universal Car Cigarette Lighter Extension Socket ) from the front 12v socket (by using a Cateck 1 to 2 Sockets Cigarette Lighter Splitter) to the boot via under the passenger seat , under the trim ,under the back seat , behind the boot trim , then poked it through the piece of boot liner where the 12v socket should have been ----- had they fitted one ............. Why SEAT don't fit one in the boot in the first place i don't understand . What makes them think UK driver's don't need one ?

Or to save the hassle get it professionally hard wired in, had it done to our fr sport, front and rear Thinkware Q800 pro, great set up and picture quality is tops.
No problem it was £210 for the installation front & rear, the cameras were supplied by them also. I could of got the cameras cheaper elsewhere but then they charge more for the fitting so overall i gained a little with them supply & fit (John Kleis, Reading, Berkshire) top company.
