Default Power outlet and microphone

1) Do any of the power outlets turn off when ignition shuts off? I want my dash cam to shut off when car is turned off.

2) Is there a microphone in the car for use with hands free phone use and if so where is it?

Power Outlets
Use the accessory power outlet to
plug in electrical equipment, such as
a cell phone or MP3 player.
There are three accessory power
outlets:
. Inside the center console
storage compartment.
. In front of the cupholder.
. In the rear compartment.

The power outlets in front of the
cupholder and inside the center
console storage compartment are
powered when the ignition is in ON/
RUN/START or ACC/ACCESSORY,
or until the driver door is opened
within 10 minutes of turning off the
vehicle. See Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 9-22.
The rear compartment power outlet
is powered at all times. The
vehicle’s battery may run down if
the power outlet is used while the
ignition is in Stopping the Engine/
OFF. Use this power outlet for
plugging in the battery maintainer,
if equipped.

The microphone is just to the left of the visor on the drivers side A pillar.

Is it possible to make console power outlet always on not switched?

You could run power from either the engine or rear fuse block to it. You'd just need an unswitched fuse to tap off. There might be a source in the drivers or passengers footwell, but it could be an adventure finding what to tap into there.

1) Yes they all do except the outlet in the trunk. That stays hot all of th time,



2) yes, and it is listing to you all of the time. JK, it only listens when you press the phone button.
