The one thing I do like about a 12v cigarette lighter port vs a USB port or the cigarette style power port is that most always, the cigarette lighter puts out a higher amperage for charging phones and whatnot. And they are usually wired hot directly to the battery instead of through the ignition so that even if the car is off, you still have power accessible without having to turn the key on.

really... lmao
damn phones dont hold much of a charge, nor do they charge very fast using the car usb... Quote:
I leave my Torque tablet plugged into the lighter port nearly all the time, overnight, during the day, etc. but, the car rarely goes more than 3 days max without being driven. and the tablet stops itself when its fully charged but I'd much rather have an always on port (without having to hack the stock wiring) than have one that shuts off after 10 min. because in that instance, you have to turn the key to "on" or start it. putting in run/on/acc position turns on the fuel pump, radio, drls, bcm, etc which draws much more power than a 2.0A phone charger.

I would still like to see a mirror 12v tap, but i doubt they will do it. Or like i had on a Pontiac GTP i had where they had a power port in the upper panel, kinda like where the Homelink is on the Camaro.

Bullshit, I demand a race. My USB port versus your phone charger.

The 12v plug in the car will charge a phone faster than the USB port in the car will. My phone actually tells me that its going to charge slower when I plug it in to the USB because its not getting much power.

I think that is probably the power port since the parking brake button is to the left in the silver trim.
