Any news? Or is it just that X is haunted and/or clinically insane...

EDIT:
Also forget to say that the interior sensor will keep things active if there's any movement in the interior so checking after dark for the lights glow may be the only true way to verify without changing the status of the interior.

sorry for the late update. but i did turn the dash cam off and left the cable plugged for 30mins. came back and the light on the cable was still lit, showing that there is still charge from the outlet even after 30 mins with the car turned off.

i believe if you daily drive your car, you can leave the cable plugged is and manually turn off the dash cam or whatever you have plugged into any of the outlets.

Not only that but if you lock the car with kids still in the car, the kids will trigger the alarm because of their movement.

To disable the sensor, just hit the Arm button a second time. The clown nose with burn solid for a minute showing the motion sensor is disabled.

I used this all the time when I locked my child, dog, and a cherished hamster in the car during particularly hot days.

Edit:

THAT is just spooky...
