Someone must have invented something that gets plugged into the 12V adapter FIRST and after a period of non-use it automatically shuts it off...cause getting this teenager to remember to PULL OUT THE BLOODY PLUG is nearly impossible...
I even bought a solar trickle charger that plugs into the rear 12V port, has suction cup feet to hold it to the rear glass, but it doesnt do diddly, squat or bubkis..depending on what part of the country you come from..
Even a switch that he could turn off so that he doesnt have to reach down to the PS well to get to THAT bloody 12V adapter would be good.
Maybe we could invent one..?
Thank you for letting me vent,
