12v power sockets F48

Post by DavidUK » Fri Oct 14, 2016 11:22 am

Looking to connect a dash cam to the one under the glove box (have you found that one yet?)...

Whereas in my Porsche the 12v sockets switch off 20-30 minutes after ignition off, I can't find any info on whether the X1's sockets stay on permanently? With ignition off they're live, but I've not yet waited around to see if they go off after a while.

Anyone know?

Answer: they stay on for a few minutes once the car is locked, then go off.

Tested last night.
