Hidden 12volt on after lock?
I picked up my x2 today and super happy with it, it's a 2018 model. I have the 12volt under the glovebox and I was thinking of using it for a dash cam.
I was wondering if anyone knew if the 12volt there stays on all the time, or if it is powered off after the car is locked? Is it good to use for a dash cam? |

I use it for the dash cam. It turns off after about 10 mins I think after you shut off the ignition.

I use one of these. Works great. Keeps your OBD port open. Stays on 24/7. Easy plug and play.

Do a search on the forum for dash cam. There are some threads about dash cam setups that may appeal to you that go about it other than via the 12v sig lighter.
