Hello, I live in Azerbaijan.  My car is Ford C Max 2013, 2.0, SE HYBRID.  When I turn off the engine, the 12 volt connector in the trunk continues to work.  How to make the 12 V power socket not work when the car is switched off?  Sorry for English :/

    You'll have to run a new wire to it that only gets power when the ignition is switched on.

    I will tell my master to do it.  I think it will be better this way

    Is there another way?  Can I change the settings using a computer?

    Are you sure they stay on all the time, my Ford sockets stay live for 20 minutes after I switch off and then they shut down. It had me worried when I first had the car until I found out.

    In this day and age you would think that a little bit of software could be included in the IC 'options menu' so that individuals could select 'Always On' - 'Off with ignition' - 'Timed off (and select the time)'
