Hello everyone.
This is my first post and I hope to be welcome.
I apologize for my poor English.
I am the happy owner of a Qashqai 1.5 dci N-Connecta bought in August of this year.
I would like to install a satellite locator and on Amazon.it I found a product that seems to be good and cheap and with a fee of only 66 euros a year (for those interested it is at this link: https://www.amazon.it/TLOCK-Antifurto-S ... 973&sr=8-1).
I would like to install it by myself, inside the engine bonnet or inside the luggage compartment, but I need three cables to do it: a "positive wire", a "negative wire" and a positive wire "under manual ignition" (i.e. the start/stop button).
Where can I get them without damaging anything and with simplicity?
Does anyone have a simplified diagram of the electric system of my car?
I await your response.
Thank you very much.

Wonderful!
I read the topic very carefully and it is a good starting point.
However, my device has a third input that must be attached to a positive power under the ignition key (start/stop button).
This is necessary for the locator to send a message to the user to warn that the car's engine has been turned on (and the car is probably going to move).
Is there a fuse among those that are in the box that has this feature, that is, it is powered only when the engine is running?
Thank you.

In my J11a model the cigarette lighter socket in glove box is only powered when ignition switched on
(& stays on for a short time after switch off), but the cigarette lighter socket in front of gear stick is on constantly;
however, I recall from another posting that on latest models the front cigarette lighter socket is now only live when ignition switched on.
