Given that this vehicle is a battery draining hog, I personally would not.

The rear socket beside the audio jack is permanently live, at least it is on my 2008 model.


Same herewith my 2007 HSE. I have just bought a twin USB A adaptor to plug into the rear socket that has blue led illumination, that stays on when the ignition is off. Can I leave this in place overnight without any devices connected without fear of draining the battery?


I leave a Bluetooth audio steaming adapter plugged into a USB in mine all the time.
I've measured the consumption of mine, which is about 100mA, so not much over night. However if I wasn't going to be using the car for more than a few days, I pull the USB out the power socket, to reduce the battery discharge to acceptable levels. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate on order.
Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE.

See if you can find an adapter with an on/off switch. Amazon, Ebay, etc. have all combos of adapters just depends on search wording. For example I leave a OBDII device permanently plugged in but I also bought an extender cable for the OBDII with a power switch on the cable.
