Keep Cig Lighter/USB Port On With Car Off

[Gord Peters]

Hi all: I am wondering if it is possible to keep the cigarette lighter and USB port on with the car off. I want to charge my cell phone, but when I put the key to the accessories position the dash lights and everything come on and I am worried about draining my battery. Any way around this?

There's is no setting, if that's what your looking for.
You can add an aftermarket setup and run the power straight to your car battery.
I'm working on adding USB and a power outlet to the back of the center console. I want this to turn on and off with the car though. So I will be installing a relay somewhere to control this.
