I understand very clearly. The point is that it is a dumb "safety" design. The USB port on my 330 was always hot, whether the ignition was on or not. I don't see why the 1-series can't be the same. Clearly, it was by design but not very smart. Like I said previously, what could you possibly run off the USB port that would make the battery go dead? Just remember, we're talking about an USB port, not a cigarette lighter where you could hook up a small tv or DVD player and drain the battery quicker than charging an itsy-bitsy phone.

But, in any case, I've just learned to live with what I have on the car and use alternative means of charging the phones.
