I was wondering if anyone has an experience with turning off one of the 12v up front when the car turns off. I know that they auto turn off after 2 hours. I like to keep some accessories, whether it be as simple as an freshener that plugs in, to a external battery. I really don't like that there is a draw and would rather not have to unplug/turn off everything when i leave the truck.

The 12v outlet(s) are called Power Points - And the factory timeout setting is 75 minutes. Using Forscan one can re-configure the timeout timer to any setting one wishes including disabling the timer altogether.

I've re-set mine for 18 hours as I've installed twin dash cams and want them active overnight for parking mode to function. Battery drain for this period keeping the cams active is .49v
