Default CTec 3300 Corvette battery tender

Hi folks, looking at picking up a ctec 3300 Corvette tender from a C7 that plugs into the cigarette lighter. My question is the C6 does not have the outlet in the trunk like the C7 so will the cigarette outlet work? I've heard it's only powered when the vehicle is on? Thanks folks.

The C6 has 2 cig outlets. One below the AC controls and one in the center console.

I use the one in the center console.

the outlet in the center console has constant power and is fused higher to prevent blowing fuses with added accessories.I prefer hooking battery tender direct to battery in case of any malfunction in cabin compartment of untended car
