Does USB power continue when the 2019+ Ranger is turned off?

[thesears]

I have a 2020 Ranger Lariat. I want to insert a wireless CarPlay Device into the USB port so I don’t have to plug in the phone while I’m driving, but would power continue to be drawn on this USB port after the Ranger has turned off?

I am not 100% sure I am correct and I am sure someone will chime in if I'm not, But I recall reading it at one point that the USB ports stay powered for 2 hours after ignition is off.

The time they remain powered is a Forscan option. I have never tried it, but it is on the list.

I’ve left my apple charger plugged in since the day I bought it and that was 15 months ago and so far no issues.

I believe the USBs stay powered for 60 minutes, They are not the same as the Power Points of 75 minutes, as they have separate power source.

Yes, they stay on for a while by default. You can also extend the time they are on using foreskin.

I think this is at least part of the reason I had two dead batteries. I used to leave my dashcam plugged in. It's kinda ridiculous for it to stay on so long.

I get a laugh everytime someone's autocorrect changes Forscan to foreskin. Unless you ment it that way?

I decided to find out. I use the Motorola M1 wireless adapter. I powered up the truck the M1 power light was on and I Let the M1 complete the connection to Android Auto. I removed the key exited the vehicle and locked the door. I timed the power light on the M1. I stayed on approx 10 seconds after I locked the door.

You don't need to plug anything in.. Bluetooth.

I believe this is the right answer. If you leave your phone plugged in after shutting the truck off, the device disconnects from CarPlay/AA and power as soon as you open the door, or after a short period.

I have no issues with my AA Wireless dongle. I leave it plugged in 24/7
