Good morning,

I know that all 4 of the "cig" sockets in the car cut out when you turn off the vehicle, but from what I've heard the power socket in the glove box is always on. Is this true? I've also heard it cuts out after ~16 minutes. It would be great if someone could help clear this up for me.

Thanks!

Another M5 board posts report that the flashlight socket is HOT all the time.

Something like this can be used to convert it:

"At first I thought I had
found the perfect circut where the flashlight was supposed to be, but there is some kind of logical charging components making
a lot of noise there (my lcds started scrolling)."

Maybe the flashlight adaptor has a filter and/or noise in this circuit won't be of any bother.
