Cigarette charger question

Konradical6 · 08-14-2020, 10:13 AM

I bought this usb charger that plugs into the cigarette port on my 2013 X5? Sorry if this is a dumb question but should i be removing it each time i turn off the car because it can draw power or are these fine to leave plugged in?

Shouldn't be a problem as the lighter ports/aux ports power down with the vehicle so it won't draw any power while sitting.
