For convenience, I'd like to keep my iPhone charger plugged in when I disconnect the phone and leave the car, but does anyone know if it still draws power?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, quick question about the 981 Cayman power socket in the centre console armrest... For convenience, I'd like to keep my iPhone charger plugged in when I disconnect the phone and leave the car, but does anyone know if it still draws power? Does anyone here already do this and had any problems? When I turn off the engine and remove the key, I think power still appears to be going through the charger, but it's possible this stops a few moments after locking the car, perhaps some sort of sleep mode? Thanks

POST 2Original post

On my 981 Cayman S all 3 sockets (centre arm rest, glove box and passenger footwell) seem to be active at all times. I tested this by putting a USB outlet in each socket - each USB outlet has a lit area around the USB port. I locked the car with all 3 outlets in the sockets and after 24 hours there were all still lit, so I assume the sockets are powered at all times.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ah....thanks for the info. I'm guessing if I left a phone charger plugged in (not with the phone!) for a day or two it wouldn't run down the battery, I might risk it and see.
