Wife and I go to the gym a lot, and we have been using a cooler with ice packs to keep our protein shakes cool when working out. Looking at getting a 12v cooler for that, and road trips. I couldn't find anything in the manual, or browsing around the console. I plugged up a USB phone charger that has a blue led to show power, and it stayed on for about 10 minutes after the vehicle was fully off.

Is there a way to change this to longer? Not worried about battery percentages as I go home every day and can plug it up. Would only plug in the cooler when actually using it.

You may be able to use FORScan to modify the bits in the BCM module.
