Possible to have the power outlet turn off automatically?

[Spurian]

The cigarette lighter under the armrest stays on when the car is turned off. Is there a way to change it so that when I turn off the car, the charger will also turn off? I use it for my mp3 player which pauses/suspends when the power is cut. Thanks

WHy not hard wire a power feed for your MP3 or buy the Audi docking station..?

Only by rewiring it.

Better to do as Tartan-Rob says and add a switched feed for your MP3 player - I did that for my Pogo Alert.

You might be able to do it with Vag-Com, have a look on the Ross-Tech website

You can't - 1,000,000% certain on that.

Would the dealer have to do the switched power feed? Also what is Audi docking station? I use a Zune which probably is less compatible than iPods.

No, any decent auto-electrician can do it.
