Aveo gets an Always on Power Option July 2009

How often do you go out or maybe you are at work and you want to charge your phone but you don’t have a charger. You might have a car charger but leaving your door unlocked with the key in the ignition just doesn’t sound like the best solution. Well this is why some newer cars have an always on power adapter. While I may not consider my five year old Aveo old, it is thoughtful enough to have two chargers, unfortunately none of them stay on all the time.
This seems like a simple fix. Simply tap into the constant memory wire of the stereo and run it to the power outlet. Doing this resulted in a stereo that stayed on as well. OK so it looks like the accessory wire for the deck also runs the extra ac adapter. I then cut the line to the ac plug and replaced it with my new power line. For good measure, I also improved the ground of the ac adapter to help cut down on feedback through my RF adapter.
