dho1977 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 i bought a usb socket for my ipod. but it seems the socket in the front stays on after the engine is switched off, which is a pain because i have to pull it out every time i park up. any ideas how the socket can be swithced off?

747777 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 That socket stays live for approx 1/2 an hour. The boot socket is permanently live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dho1977 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 oh ok, thanks for that....i'll test it out tomorrow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747777 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just don't mistake getting in the car to check as an indication that it had remained live! Opening the door in itself 'wakes' the car up, so would that socket. I'd use a plug-in device that has an LED indication... so that it can be monitored from the outside... e.g. a USB charger or similar?
