Default 987.2 power inside center console still active after turning off car

Hi guys,

The 987.2 USB connection inside my center console will still output power after the car has been shutoff, for at least another 15 minutes. I am not sure for how long. Do you guys have the same "issue"?

Your thread title says "power", but you post says "USB". My 2011 Cayman base does not have a USB port in the console, but the console power socket is always energized.

I believe the cig lighters are always powered-on, making the need to remove any chargers every time you turn the car off to avoid slow drain.

Yes, after observing it for a few more days I noticed the USB always being on. Do all of you disconnect your electronics every time?

I have a 2 USB outlet power plug full time in my always-on socket in the console. And one USB port is full time connected to my bluetooth/aux receiver. There is a small LED under each of the USB ports, and a small LED on the bluetooth device. So there are 2 small LEDs connected full time to my always-on power socket.

Occasionally, my car will sit as much as 10 days in the garage. I have never noticed any decline in battery power. That may not be good advice, but it has been my experience.
