Car Gadgets Run off Battery when engine running?

When your car engine is running and you plug a GPS or such into your cigarette lighter or adapter does the power run directly off of your car battery? I know that happens when your car engine is not running, the power comes from your battery, but I always thought that when your car engine is running, everything runs off the power your engine generates.

However this past week on Clark Howard I he said he was wondering why he would always buy the better car batteries, and they would only last less than a year. He said he had his car checked and everything was fine. So they told him that everything he plugs into his adapters (GPS, Ipod,etc.) is what is running his battery down as even when the car running they pull power from the car battery, NOT the engine. So he went and got a portable battery pack that he uses instead of plugging everything in.

So is he right?

The 12V plugs are mostly unswitched meaning they can draw power from his battery.

A better solution would have be to get a “bigger” batt.

I NEED HELP WITH USING THE IPOD ADAPTER FOR AN FJ CRUISER PLEASE!?

the thing is i have a built-in GPS and i was wondering if that affects using an ipod adapter. i plugged it in and there’s no sound! can someone tell me if i can listen to my ipod in an FJ Cruiser with the adapter or not so i don’t waste my time figuring it out?

please and thank you!

You may have a button on the stereo console labelled “AUX’. If so, hit it and you may get music, provided your Ipod has a plug-in-lead, that plugs into the stereo console. Good Luck.
Also,depending on what type of adaptor you have, you may need to find out what radio frequency the adaptor operates on, if it is a radio frequency adaptor. Say for example the adaptor tunes into 95.7 FM then try that frequency on the radio. In this case no auxilliary button is needed.
