Is it me!, I had a puncture and needed to put air in tyre, connected pump but then realized you have to sit in driver's seat to activate power, thus not being able to see pump pressure?

Does pressing the start button not power the auxiliary socket?

Connect the driver seat belt and press starter button and the rear power point will be live, I have had to do it a number of times.

Leave the key in the car and press the start button on the steering column, the 12V socket will stay on.

Can't do it unfortunately. Regulations stipulate that the system has to reset to on every time car is restarted.

It can be done. I used OBD11 to make the car remember the last setting for lane assist. If I turned it off, it stays off until I switch it on again. Lane assist is more of a liability than a help IMO. Helps idiots not keeping an eye on the road to stay in the middle of the lane regardless of any obstacles in that lane - if it recognised the obstacles e.g. parked cars or lane narrowing cones on roadworks and kept you in the middle of the gap, it would be far more useful.
