Need cigar lighter socket to be "live" when igniti
Hi,
HI, I'm a bit of a technophobe.
I need the cigar lighters to be live when the ignition is turned off and the car is locked in order that my dash cam still works. Is this something simple I can do or is it best left to a professional?
Thanks in advanceThe worst days fishing is better than the best days work

It's a Next Base 402G. Have to say I'm very impressed with it. Worth spending the extra on. The video quality is excellent and the sound too.The worst days fishing is better than the best days work
