The connector comprises the following pins:

The
insertion
and
removal
of
the
charger
(Cigar

AC-Charger)
is
detected
via
polling. To reduce the power consumption the polling can take up to 5 sec.

ACC-power
has
different
functionality
with

by the car-kit to power up the audio section of the car-kit, mute the car stereo and keep the car-kit powered up
