Is there a way to convert the cigarette lighters to function ALL the time??

Having your cigarette lighter functional even when its off and locked up is so under rated. Hell of a perk to be able to charge up your phone while you're not in your car...

i would think all you would have to do it tap into a constant 12v else where and connect it to the lighter.

Just run the wires to positive and negative of battery. Cake work and it'll be on 24/7

One of the lighters is always on and one turns off with the ignition which is nice when you have a cb or a scanner
I have my air horns to the one on the ignition as well so people can't use them excessively

Didn't check the plug in the center console, that'd be nice to have 1 that was and 1 that wasn't.

Good lookin out fellas!

Yup, the center console does the trick & keeps the phone out of view...

the passenger side plug on mine is always hot, and the drivers side is switched via ignition.
I've got the fold down cupholder arrangement, no console.
