Re: Cig lighter Power on always
My 2000 Lumina is the same way.
I used to forget and leave my radar detector plugged in and therefore running, so I just opened up the dash and tapped into the ignition switched power going to the radio. If you have something you usually have in the car and use, I would just hardwire it in. Looks cleaner too. |

Re: Cig lighter Power on always
since there is use for constant power outlets (like keeping my gps charged, cell, etc), i would just add an auxilary power outlet (or dual or triple socket) that is wired into switched power supply... so you have both constant/switched
