Most, but not all, vehicles have the cigarette lighter wired to the battery circuit so that they're "on" no matter if the car is or not. This is the "Batt" connection in your fusebox. If it's wired to the Accessory circuit, then the circuit will only be available when the car is running or the key turned to Accessory. This is the "Acc" connection in your fusebox. It's simple enough to tell before buying this solar panel, just push the lighter in when the car is off and the key out of the ignition. If the lighter gets hot then this will work for you. If not then you'll need to do something else, wire a plug into the fusebox, clip this right on the battery, something else. This comes with both the cigarette plug and alligator clips. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, this won't "pop" out and shut itself off like a cigarette lighter does. That's done by heat in the lighter, not a timer or anything like that.

I only WISH I had your problem. My lighter no longer works. Something is wrong with the button to ignite it. Now I wish I hadn't given it such a glowing review...

Yes as long your power outlet (cigarette lighter) goes off when you turn off the engine.There is no On/Off button on the device

My outlet stays on when my vehicle is turned off. Most outlets are not powered when ignition is off in which case the lights would not work.

I too, saw the "E2" warning. I unplugged it and cleaned it, to try again. Well, that's when it happened!! Unplug it, carefully place it back in the box, and send it back! Mine got so hot, it almost melted the counter top. (it did melt part of the smoker!) Send it back! Take no chances.

Yes you can plug it in the cig lighter and you can use your laptop for as long as you want. Also it has 2 USB port. It's pretty bad ass

Depends, does your cigarett lighter stay on when your car is parked? If so yes, if not, It has a battery but it only last about 5-10 mins after you park, or after you are involved in an accident. You could wire it straight to the battery.

Hi Hollie, the auto shut off must be built in because at times the seat doesn't feel as warm throughout my 1hr drive to/from work. Even so, I'm very conscious about unplugging it from the cigarette port before leaving my car. I'd advise other users to do the same!!! Hope this helps answer your question.

I never let it get that low. Since there is no shut off, I can only assume it would burn out the element. I plug in, use and unplug.

The correct answer will depend on your vehicle. If your cigarette lighter gets continuous power even when the key is turned off, then the answer is YES. If the power to the cigarette lighter is cut off when the key is turned off, then the answer is NO. An easy way to test your cigarette lighter when the key is turned off is to plug something into it (i.e. USB charger or test the lighter itself) and see if it works.

The Head-Up vehicle speed display has no on off switch. Turn off by removal of adapter from cig lighter plug , or from 5V power port at display. My car has no power to the cig adapter with ignition off, if your cig adapter is on all the time you will need to remember to remove power adapter every time your car is not in use.

yes it will turn off engine goes off a cigarette lighter but either way the Bluetooth devicedoes not take up nearly enough power to drain your battery and if it did stay on the whole time even with the engine off the Bluetooth device with automatic shut off after a few minutes of inactivity

My 99 Honda automatically shuts off the cigarette lighter. I'm sure my car isn't the only one...

Yes you could sort of. Not all cigarette lighters are 'live' when you turn off your car. It seems to me it about 50-50 depending on the car brand and model. So if you cigarette lighter IS NOT 'live' when you turn off the car this this would not work.

You cigarette lighter socket/Aux. Socket is likely fused with a 10, 15, 20 amp fuse. An attempt to put anything in that slot and draw meaningful power from it would instantly blow that cigarette lighter socket fuse. So no.
