      It's a cool, but is only draining the battery when on, so the vehicle would be running anyway. Most will likely wire it up to an ignition live.

      DK Schweizer just up the road from me I’ve used them and can highly recommend 😎. Love this concept with the fridge built in the centre console. I have a centre console which I find very useful but this is next level ! My only concern is that the fridge is only accessible from the rear seats. If the armrest slides back to access the fridge aswell that would be the perfect design. I await the price ?
