Default Cigarette Lighter Power Outlet???

What's up everyone...

Has anyone heard of a way to have continuous power to the cigarette lighter power outlet, even while the car / ignition is shut off? I ask because I had a GMC Yukon Denali before the LX and I was able to charge my cell phone even while the car was shut off (and for the record, it did not kill the battery).

Thanks!

You would need to take a look at the wiring schematic for your specific vehicle and run the line straight to the battery - along with any neccessary fuses. You may be able to do it youself without the schematics if you're decent with a voltmeter.

Depending on the model year, there is a power outlet inside the storage compartment located between the two front seats. I would check to see if that outlet remains hot after engine is turned off.
