Cigarette lighter
hello, I have 1998 Monte Carlo and want to add 2 sockets so I can plugin a Bluetooth, to play phone through stereo. My main problem is I used to have it plugged in the cigarette lighter but it broke because if I didn’t pull the Bluetooth out of socket the battery was dead next day. I need my sockets to shut off when I shut car off. The lighter never did shutoff.
i have a dual socket that will work for me but need to know how to wire it to so it shuts off with ignition/ key turned off. Any help

On my '06 I tapped off of a fuse that was labeled RAP - Retained Accessory Power, that trick where accessories work until you open the door.
Fuse was in the passenger kick panel, I use a piggyback fuse to hardwire a 3 socket module that was tucked under the dash by the glove compartment,

Thanks
will check if 98 Monte has that.
Anymore ideas?
is the fuse box on passenger side and good to tap into? I have easy access to that?
thanks
:-)
