IIRC the tap is on the 12V input to the cluster rather than the individual light outputs, so using the on/off buttons make no difference - only the strip comes on with door opening and go off when all doors are closed.
And another (y) for the EVGOGO mats, we will have to see how they last with the family but the material seems pretty good. I was half expecting rigid foam-coated material like a garage mat but it feels more like rubber so hopefully will last well.
How did you get on @wylex4 ? I'm thinking of doing the same - I assume it worked well with tapping the speaker wires - are you happy with the sub?
As a follow-up to this - I tried the USW300 direct to the high-level inputs, the pin out seems to be the same as the MG4 on the ZS EV MK2 - where...
According to the Viofo install video on YouTube he mentions Mini so I bought Mini piggyback and fuses and they match on the mk2 ZS. The blue is the supplied 15a cigarette lighter socket.

Thanks @N2STY for the pointers
I had 1m 20 left out of 5m. Will...

Looks like I have to settle on the overhead lights and the underseat ones during the drive.
I’m thinking the same - contemplating a 4000k natural white colour vs 6000k
Should be able to make a cable(s) to avoid the cutting of any existing wiring.
The USB-A does switch off after a short period when locking.
