It will shut off when you lock the car. Otherwise I think it stays on for like ten minutes just like the rest of the accessories.GimpyMcFarlan said:According to my testing today it appears to be on all the time. Even with the key removed I still get power through my cell phone charger.

Wouldn't be too tough. Battery is already back there, so you'll need a fuseholder, some wire (good 12AWG should probably suffice) and I'd recommend either the single socket out of the back of a Touring or a dual from a X5 for the OE look. Cut a hole to fit the socket, build up the thickness of the trunk liner to hold the socket in place, fuse and wire the socket, and you'll be set.RKT BMR said:Has anyone seen/heard of a DIY job adding a plug socket in the trunk somewhere of their E46? for a variety of reasons, this would enormously convenient and useful to me, so I have been laying plans to do one myself.

Nope. It's just the PN for the adapter that plugs into the glove box flashlight socket.CascadeTelcom said:Does the 82110004073 part number include the four items mentioned in the Ron Stygar thread?
