Title: Cigarette Power?
Post by: CocoPops on June 07, 2009, 09:56:41 pm

Any way to allow either the front or rear cigarette sockets to be powered without turning on the ignition?

ye the best thing to do is wire it to perminat live. the easiest way to do this is behind the fuse box. rather than wiring a new wire to to rear

Its probably pretty easy to change it if you look at the back of the fuse box
