@NICKFOXTV6 жыл бұрын
Yes this works in the same way. Another point to note you need to be out of the car, lock it and move the key away. It seems to be smart enough to recognise the key when you turn ignition off and continue to provide power to the outlets! Once off, locked and you are away it stops the live power approx 3 minutes after.
@71brp846 жыл бұрын
In the 3 series all the sockets (front, rear, footwell and boot) are powered for 5 mins after locking. I would assume the 1 series is the same. Curiously, they're not all off the same fuse, 2 from the fuse box in the boot and 2 from the one in the engine bay. Don't recall which way round though, only found out when some of mine weren't working but others were. Hope this help a little.
