Question Cigarette Lighter is hot-wired?
I bought a FM modulator and after turning off the car I noticed it was still active. I also tried locking the doors/alarming the car and it stayed on while it was locked.

I have a feeling this thing could drain the battery pretty easily. I was hoping the cigarette lighter would not have power running to it if the car is off....

It should be on the accessory timer. I think it's about a 10 second delay after you arm the car?

mmm... I don't arm the car when it is in the garage. The cigarette lighter is hot, I use it to keep the trickle charger connected the battery.
