larry91403 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Just picked up our new edge today! My issue is that we have a monitor and a video device in the backseat for our daughter that have to be plugged into one of the ac ports (cig lighter?). Regardless of which on I plug into the power does not get cut off when the car is turned off. So I've got to power off these devices manually each time. It's a real pain. Is there a way to set these ports to power off with the car or am I gonna have to wire this some other way? Thanks! L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 You can wire in a relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincwitsync Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 This is a feature that I love about MKX/Edges- especially with the storms that rolled through the north east last weekend. My electricity was out, but my phone and laptop stayed charged without me having to sit in the car (burning fuel). That was a humbling experience. Many new makes shut all accesory ports completely off when the key is taken out of the ignition switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
