On the solar 12v assist angle, how can you safely apply this to a modern car? I've seen photos of car fires from dash PVs plugged into the power plugs on some cars. I have a Volkswagen solar panel that has the car plug (and it makes plenty of voltage in full sun) but I'm apprehensive about using it in my Mazda. I know that there is less draw down when modules go into sleep mode on my old Jetta and if you interact with the car (like unlocking it) the modules wake up. Some cars shut down the power plugs in sleep mode and some don't. If I start measuring voltage on the plugs I may wake up the modules and nullify my findings? You've attracted ecomodder heavyweights here and being an EE graduate I wonder if anyone had some ideas on the matter?
