UK Boxsters are strange. On some the lighter is hot all the time and on others it is not. We think it has to do with the year. The owner usuall finds out when trying to use a charger that goes through the lighter, because it will not work unless the lighter is hot all the time.

I have been on the Toyota message boards because I'm fixing up my old pickup, and it has been said that on Japanese cars the key has to be on for the lighter to work. That is true for my pickup.

You could rewire the lighter. You can use the ignition switch wire from the cell phone connector instead of the existing always on wire to the lighter. Or you could wire the detector to the cell phone connector.
