12v cigarette outlets always on
 

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows how to enable the 12v cigarette outlet to be always on?

You can't. Are you trying to hook up a dash cam? If so, you might want to tap into the fuse box. There are plenty more options there.

I travel a fair bit & park my S5 for extended periods. I picked up a CTEK trickle charger & 12V adapter, but it's not charging.

I think you're supposed to connect that directly to the battery.

I wish it would stay on. It's really annoying hearing my V1 constantly restart when I come to a stop and start driving and start/stop kicks in.

no, i'm pretty sure the cigarette adapter is meant to be plugged into the cigarette outlet

I meant that you're not supposed to use the 12v adaptor with that.

really? why would the CTEK charger have a cigarette adapter for it then? seems odd/misleading.

It might be in the case that you can use it. However, I'm no expert on their system. I would contact their customer support I guess

That does not happen with mine. The cigarette lighter still provides power to my dashcam when the car auto shuts off.
