Any way to get the Cigarette Lighter to turn off with the Ignition

Featured Replies

Hi All,

 

Is there any way to get the Cigarette Lighter to turn off with the Ignition?

 

Just got a dashcam and phone charging cradle and dont fancy having them drawing power all the time :)

2012 is the year of my car also.

You would have to re-wire it to a switched live. Most people (me included) use a piggy back fuse holder on the rear wiper fuse in the fuse box to power a dash cam. 

You could also achieve the desired result by fitting a relay under the console beside the lighter socket, using the N.O. contacts and wiring the coil to a switched live feed.
