Default Charging my phone using the Accessory Feature on a Newer 2013 Car ????
I'm thinking ahead. My smart phone has a light but what if I don't have a way to charge it without running the car.

If my car is turned off I cannot use the cigarette jack to charge my phone. It's off. It used to be that you cannot turn the switch to accessory for any length of time without damaging the points. Well, points are a thing of the past but is there any other electrical/electronic reason that it is not a good idea to turn the switch to accessory to charge the cell phone?
