The two plugs in the console (SLC) are they always live? If I keep my Tom Tom & iPod permanently plugged in will they drain the battery (have battery query as per other post)?

Thanks as always whatever you advise.
 
Generally sockets are only live with the ignition on, for exactly that reason. You should be able to tell from the devices you have plugged in whether they are receiving power (charging) or not?
 
They aren’t permanently live as standard.
It may be possible to make them permanently live by moving a fuse in the fusebox but I doubt it.
 
USB or the round "cigarette" lighter type ?

Should be pretty easy to plug something into them (light etc) then lock the doors and see if they remain on / or not , after a set time.
