Ever since I've owned my M3 (Aug 2018), the 12V outlet would turn on (energize) when the car was unlocked and woke up. After the car was locked, it would turn off. This is desirable for me because I use it to power my dashcam. The dashcam will begin recording when it gets power and stops when the power is turned off.

Ever since I got the 2019.5.15 software update last week, the 12V outlet in the center console has stayed energized long after the car is locked. The time varies from a few minutes to over two hours! This is bad for me because the camera keeps recording and eventually overwrites all the clips on the SD card with lovely view of my current parking spot!

Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas how to return the behavior to before the software update?
