Using cigarette lighter as a charger?
I tried to charge my phone through my car for the first time today. I noticed that if my car isn't turned on, it won't work. Is that normal? Anything I can do? WIth my previous car (BMW 3series), I could leave my phone on the car charger, and it would work.

Maybe the accessory will only charge when the car is on?

when i was hard wiring my V1 i noticed that the red wire with the black stripe is a constant "always on" 12volt source (dont want the V1 to be always on when the car is off)... so just rewire your 12volt outlet with that wire and you will be in business...
this will be my next project as i too am annoyed by the lack of an always on power source for my phone...

I'm not sure I trust mine anymore. A few weeks back, when I tried to pull a charger out of mine, it didn't want to come. Then the whole thing came out. I pushed it back in, but now I don't trust it will stay, and that I didn't do some damage.
I guess I'll have it looked at when I take it in for the 60K service.
