foxmod Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hello All, Quick question if anyone can help, I still got my CTEK MX 3600 charger from my GT3, but wanted to add the CTEK CTE-56263 CTEK Cigarette Lighter Connector Adaptor https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0016LA5O8/ref=s9_dcacsd_bhz_bw_c_x_3 instead of a direct connection to the battery, is anyone doing this right now? - or something else? Do you know if any of the sockets in the cabin stay live after the ignition has been disconnected? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr pg Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The interior sockets are only live for 30 mins after switching ignition off, as I discovered recently, so you need to connect the battery. I attached the ctek battery lead to mine so I can just connect the charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaymanDave Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Is that correct? Seems strange that Porsche sell the conditioner and recommend using the 12v socket in the cabin to run it from if so...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxmod Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'll talk to my local OPC and get the lowdown and report back soon thanks for the replies so far...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted April 27, 2016 Founder Share Posted April 27, 2016 I must admit, I don't run my battery conditioner off the 12v socket, but I also thought I could if I wanted as plenty of other owners seem to do so. Let us know what Porsche say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you speak to your OPC? I was thinking of investing in one of these and the cigarette lighter adaptor seems a neat solution to me if it works!

foxmod Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 I still haven't spoken to my OPC, but I have now collected the car, and what a car!! - I've fitted the CTEK comfort connect eyelets direct to the battery (+ on battery, -ve on a bolt I fixed to the chassis) and managed to poke the end out of the plastic cover next to the front boot seal -all seams to work just fine) - I'll still ask when I go the my OPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Square Images Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I connected mine to positive and negative terminals on the bat. Is this wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Fling Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I used my ctek charger connected to the cigarette lighter socket on my 2012 Cayman R for months at a time during the winter. Absolutely no problems at all. When resting in the garage, I locked my car with the fob double clicked to cancel the cabin sensor mode. This saves battery power. No need to convert to battery croc clips. The cigarette lighter connection works a treat. That is what my new order 718 Cayman S comes with the smoker pack.
