Default I'm so lazy.........

Too lazy to look this up, so I'll ask all the experts here this morning. Does the cig lighter power off when the car shuts down, or is it powered continuously? Just bought a Passport 9500ix and was wondering if I could leave it in the car for extended down time during the winter season. Thanxz.

If you're too lazy to look it up, I'm too lazy to tell you.

Hook that detector up to your rear view mirror. Pretty easy to do and you lose the cord all together.
