Default SatNav blowing fuse

My first post here. A few months back I bought an aftermarket SatNav. Works perfectly in my Toyota but keeps blowing the 20amp fuse in the Focus. I found the only way to avoid this is not to plug the power cable into the cigarette lighter until after the engine is started, and to remove it before the engine is stopped. Otherwise, the fuse overloads and blows. In other cars I have tried it in , it is fine to leave it plugged in all the time.

I recall doing a google search some time back and discovering others have had similar problems with the Focus, but I can't find the site now.

Has anyone else struck this issue and can offer a work around?

Thanks
