Or even a 70ish car. In my old truck I just ran an extension cord from the front. But I was so looking forward to the conveeeenience.

It's part of this idiotic attitude of making things customers supposedly want. How did this get started? I am sure much of the price of a new car-truck is caused by a lot of this when I would be perfectly content with a 1960ish technology car. I have driven one new car rental that I would never want to own because of the inconveniences caused by all these automatic things. Actually, I think all car manufacturers are owned by outer space aliens who are intent of turning us into mindless creatures. With all these automatic things we don't have to think for ourselves. Once we become like cattle, like the Eloyians, then it is much easier to conquer and rule the Earth!!

Speakin of car batteries, how come you have to turn the ignition on to get the rear 12v outlets to work? I'm sure in their wisdom, the car designers didn't want you running down the battery by leaving rear accessories on overnight. But I WANT to leave rear accessories on overnight! I just don't want all the instrument panel lights on. I need to rewire, but it's always such a pain and might void some of the warranty.
