i've brought a gps speed camera alert thingy and i would like to use either the ciggy socket by the gearshift or the one in the cuby box but, i'd like the alert thingy to go of with the ignition..do any of these sockets do that or if not any ideas... ... - .- -.

The one by the gearstick turns off with the ignition. Depending on year you then get cubbybox and boot live for ever, or cubby box and boot live for 10 mins with car open and OFF if locked, or no power at all when ignition off.....fun eh? Land Rover Addict

There is on my 2010 - I don't think there is on the touch-screen pre-2010. Like I say, at least 3 different "setups", my first was ALL OFF with no key. My second (2006) was boot and cubby LIVE at all times, and this one 2010, is cubby/boot on for 10 mins unless car locked - then no power.

yes thats it, lift out the ash tray, and you are left with a cup holder, just grab hold of it and pull it up and out smartly |
