Default New body Silverado/Sierra power outlets


I just picked up a 2008 Sierra 1500 crew cab and noticed that of the 3 power ports I have on this thing, all are continuous power. Has anyone found a way to change one to where it is off when the key is removed from the ignition?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, you just figure with 3, one of them would be ignition controlled. I charge my phone at home, but have a GPS and plan to get a radar detector. The vehicle has battery run down protection, but would still like to have the unused devices off when the engine is not running.
Thanks

Crack that new baby open and rewire it! Find a switched power source. (most likely at the fuse panel) Run new wires or trace the old ones back to the source.
