Constant Power at Cigarette Lighter?

[lkchris]

On my 2001 I can come home, shut ignition off and open front trunk and the light will illuminate.

If I wait until the next day to open the front trunk, the light will not illuminate.

I suggest the cigar lighter may be on the same sort of timer.

My 2001 S has constant power at the cigarette lighter.

I upgraded the socket to the later (narrower) version and use a Porsche (Porsche branded CTEK) battery charger/conditioner to keep it topped off in the winter.

My battery is 4.5 years old now, and still going strong. No idea what brand it is - made the (non-Porsche) dealer put a new one in before I would take it. Physically, it's the largest size that fits in the battery tray.
