Anyone know if any of the power sockets (cigarette lighters) are permanently powered, or are they all linked to the ignition (there are 2 in the front, 1 in row two, and another in the load space)
Thanks

They are linked to the ignition mate, I use a portable fridge box in the boot and it switches off whe I turn the ignition off.
Not sure if you can over ride this, if so I would be interested!
Hope this helps
Cheers

Wiggs put up a post about bypassing the relay for the D3's aux sockets, I'd imagine that the D4 would be similar if not the same  06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

Is there some kind of standard delay then before this happens? I am sure the kids dvd player stayed on after turning off the ignigtion at a pit stop as the wife was concerned and unplugged it?

sure it doesn't have an in-built battery...? The one we use does. The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Hi Dean, the power sockets remain powered after the ignition is turned off, not sure if there is a time out on them but as soon as you lock the D4, the power sockets turns off. 2008 TDV8 RR Lux + 2009 D4 2.7
