My 12-volt socket in the interior storage compartment doesn't seem to power off after locking the car. I have my radar detector plugged in until I get my Radenso detector and antilaser installed but it doesn't seem to power off after locking car and leaving. Is this socket supposed to always be powered on?

The USB-C ports in the back seat area stay live when the car is off.

I’ve run a time lapse dashcam from there 24/7 on my round country trip.

According to the Good to Know app, "The 12V plug and the the connected electrical accessories can function even when the vehicle is shut off. To save the vehicle battery, the electricity supply is cut off after a maximum of 30 minutes". I just happen to have read this last night, as I've been trying to RTFM before my car arrives in a couple of weeks!

Thanks Brent. I searched through the app and must have glossed right over that.

Considering that it's buried in the "Luggage and Transport" chapter, I expect a lot of people do!
