Hi all, just installed a dashcam that's powered by the 12v socket. It has a park protect mode in it that detects lack of power and use onboard battery to lower usage and record based on coalition (park protect as it's called). However, the 12v socket in my 2019 A3 doesn't seem to lose power when the car is switched off so it stays powered and draws power. This over time will obviously drain the battery, is there any way of setting something so that the socket is only powered when the ignition is on? Thanks.
