Has anyone rewired one or both of the power plugs so that there is power when the car is switched off? I would like to be able to charge my cell phone overnight in the car sometimes. The draw is only 5 watts max, and the phone is fully charged in a couple hours, so I'm not worried about the 12 volt battery running down. Will the dealer do this? Could my independant mechanic handle it? What about doing it myself?
Coastal tech has a do-it-yourself kit that is fairly easy to install for the front adapter (the one under the dash on the passenger side). http://www.coastaletech.com/power_outlet_mod.htm
