I'd like to maintain the starter battery using a solar trickle charger- has anyone got any experience with these?

There are electric gizmos available to switch power source to leisure battery when ignition is off. Can't find link to site where I saw it though.

D'oh - there goes my dream of listening to music whilst parked up - and watching a film on the iPad through the stereo's speakers...
... unless we get this cheap mod done I guess! (was this the link you were thinking of Andy?)
