Whoa~ Gotta say I'm a little surprised. A lot of the newer cars have 12V jacks that automatically switch off when ignition is turned off -- mine is like that, and I don't particularly enjoy this "feature" since I'd much rather have the choice to leave something plugged in or not -- instead of having it forced upon me.

In relation to a dashcam, this effectively means your dashcam may or may not be able to draw power from the 12V jack.
