Is there somewhere in the boot that has a live that is switched with the ignition? All the fuses seem to be live all the time, I thought I could use the phone fuse but it’s live even with the ignition off, does the car going to sleep make any difference to any of those fuses?
I forgot to check but the 12v sockets are always live aren’t they?

Eh up Sleepyfolk
I recall a thread started by a member called bascule in June 17 re his upgrades and he was having the same issues
I used this to assist when I was researching my phone kit.
In his thread there is a picture of the location of a genuine switched live in the boot.
Try searching as I cannot figure out how to post a link on here
Hope this is an assist
Cheers
