I know I have seen a post on how to route the power so that the cigarette lighter in the vibe stays on when the car is off. If someone could please help me find the post it would be greatly appreciated, I have searched for like the last half an hour. Thanks

that's for the one in between the seats, the one they stopped providing in the 2005 model year. I never tried to make the actual cigarette lighter stay on with the ignition off, it's a different circuit.

joatmon, do you know if the wiring for the relay is still in place for the secondary 12v outlet? Any chance they just eliminated the outlet and wire from the relay? It would be a much better way for me to setup an extra outlet in my 05.Quote, originally posted by joatmon »that's for the one in between the seats, the one they stopped providing in the 2005 model year.

It would be a much better way for me to setup an extra outlet in my 05.The relay itself and the wiring to down under the console is all still there. See the following thread for adding the outlet to your 05:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=13711
