Hi guys, yesterday I fitted a new hands free kit to the car, install went fine and all wired correctly, however I've noticed a strange issue where if something is plugged into the cigarette lighter when I turn the ignition off, the hands free turns off as it should but the car speakers remain powered and the screen displays "External In". This stays on even if I lock the car or remove the charger from the cigarette lighter.
The red ignition wire from the hands free kit is connected to the black wire in the cigarette lighter, and there's no power going to the cigarette lighter when the ignition is off!
The only way to stop this from happening is to remove the charger from the cigarette lighter before I turn off the ignition.
Does anyone know what would cause this, or how I might fix it? It's a pain in the arse having to unplug everytime I switch the engine off!
