Because the bastard thing keeps jumping out, lulling me into a false sence of security that it was charging and it wasn't, plus the ciggy lighter is down my the handbrake and the cable drives me mad. So I decided to hard wire it There is an adapter plugged into a flying ciggy lighter adapter (and taped up like a boss) behind the tunnel kick panel.

Because the shitty socket is powered permanently and you have to pull out the cup-holder to use it..

Unfortunately its bloody stupid in this one the access is only part of the problem, if I accidently leave it plugged in its powered even when the ignition is off..

I know, but you can't get to it from the inside, its double skinned, otherwise i would of done it with a hammer

I fully expect a body shop to take a chisel to my filler and knock it out, (thats what i'd ask for) This is almost a temporary thing until next year.

If it came with that from factory, people would be painting them black and everyone would say how nice it was.
