I was surprised to discover that the cigar lighter is always powered even when the car is off. Has anyone figured out an easy way to change this? I would like to leave a radar detector plugged in when I park the car and not worry about draining the power.

Thanks.

:lol: it is the other way around - Porsche leaves it powered so that you can put their trickle charger on the car.

Interesting... How does everyone avoid draining the battery when leaving electronic devices plugged in? Seems like leaving a radar detector or GPS device plugged in for a few days without driving would kill a battery???

Thanks.

Behind the lower center console is a plug for telephone prep. On that plug is switched +12volts, unswitched +12 volts, ground and mute. A lot of folks hardware to the the unswitched +12 volts and ground.
