Has anyone got an easy fix to liven up ciggy socket at position 1 on key. Mines position 2, I use a Blutooth to FM transmitter for music so would like to have it work without the need for ignition on position 2... ?

Check your fuse listings on the manual - it could simply be a fuse that needs fixing.

To be fair I couldn't find it in the fuse listing - but someone on here may know. Best of luck

This may help

OK, I do have power to it but only position 2 or running, A PITA if I want to listen to tethered tunes whilst parked up.. Based on the comments here though, I am wondering if it hasnt already been modded to only be live with ignition, or the blutooth would run 24/7.. But they cocked it up a bit by taking power from position 2 circuit, when it should be on 1... I will investigate.... :thumbsup:.

BTW She is a facelift 99 Model, 2.0

They were probably worried about stuff draining the battery overnight or something! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
