2 months ago I was REQUIRED to set up 2fa on my BT account. So, the position then became : 2fa code required to access account. Code NOT required for email .

Can you modify the 12v socket in any way to make it ignition-live?
When it comes to electronics I'm pretty much clueless. I did hardwire in my dash cam in to my old car but that was only through copying what I saw on YouTube really.
