Very interested to know what this possible 'problem with CAN' could be. The cigarette lighter in question is an accessory socket, i.e. it could have anything plugged into it, drawing between 0 and whatever the circuit is rated at. I'm not sure I understand how wiring a radio permanently in parallel, can be any different from just pluging it directly into the socket, except that it draws a small amount of current even though the power is off. To my knowledge, there is no CAN logic continually testing the socket. What could it test for? There may, or may not, be something permanently connected.
The lights issue is real, but how does this affect lighter sockets?
