Constant Power at Cigarette Lighter?

On most cars, the cigarette lighter only has power when the key is switched on or
in ACC. The same is true of most Porsche's. If yours has power without the key, either
someone has rewired it, or your vehicle is old enough that the lighter was in fact
constantly powered. Mine, 2001 Boxster S, has no power until the key is turned on or
in ACC. My Dodge truck is the same way. Though it does have addition
"power ports" cigarette lighter type connections that do have constant power.
