love our new terrain but cant stand how the lighter power sockets do not work with the car off....the rear trunk one works without ignition power but my dvd player cord will not reach it.....everytime i re-start the car, my portable dvd player resets


is there anyway of changing this thx

You can simply purchase a power extension.

you would need to rip apart the dash/console area and rewire the power into a constant 12v source, instead of an ignition source....

i had a rental rav 4 and swore i would never buy a vehicle with this silly feature.....o well, the terrain has 100 more good points for this one negative issue

wait a minute ; if its portable doesnt it have a battery!?!?

ya but to get battery power you have to switch it to that.....it will not turn on while on battery setting and plugged into a power source at same time.....stupid
