I have a 2013 Model S. I wanted to install a dash cam (it's a DDpai mini, a rather cheap 1080 dash cam), so after much reading I was prepared to install by using cord in speaker grill between the two cabin lights. After I even bought the adapter, I opened the grille and the cable that is supposed to be always on was not there. I then ordered the OBD power adapter, but just decided to test my dashcam in to the usb port next to the cigarette lighter while I waited for it to arrive.
As far as I can tell, it has been on for hours even though the car should be off. Is the USB outlet supposed to be unswitched? I thought they only powered on when the car is on. Does it just stay on because it was plugged in before the car was shut off? Will it continue to stay on?
thanks,,
