After turning off ignition w/o turning off unit, is the unit on when you turn on the ignition (or do you then have to push the power to turn unit on)?

If it doesn't turn on with the vehicle, there's some kind of mechanical issue with device. It should just turn on with the car.

If you turn the vehicle off while the radio is on, when you come back and start the vehicle again the radio will immediately come back on. You do not have to power it on.

Yes, it does, but these radios have some issue with power consumption if you don't turn them completely off before turning off the ignition. I have two of this type installed. One in a Toyota Camry and one in a BMW Z3 and both radios will drain the battery if not powered off completely. If you turn on the ignition and the radio starts up on its own then it has not been powered off completely. Also, if you insert a CD into the unit while completely powered off, it will go into the not completely powered off state.

This unit powers on batteries also, if you have it running on the required 2 double A batteries then you won't have the problem of it turning off when you power down the vehicle. Their is also a "My Favorite" mode where you can save addresses into it, so if it does turn off just turn it back on click my favorite and click the start navigation and it will continue to guide you.

The light comes with a wire that can be inserted in a pin hole in the front of the unit. Push the wire until you here a click. The unit should be on. Repeat to turn it off.

The accessory power cable needs to be wired to accessory power from the ignition switch. If you want the unit on without the switch on you have to wire the accessory wire directly to a hot wire, like the POS. on the battery. I believe the accessory wire is yellow but check your manual to be sure.

No. Once the unit is turn off, it will not turn on with out pushing the power button on the "key pad" or remote. If you unplug it for example, while it's on, when you plug it back in it needs to be physically turned on with the power button.

My advice is to turn the car on first then turn this on and make sure you turn this off before you turn the car off....

Yes. Plugs into a cig. lighter socket. On/off button. If the socket powers up only when ignition is on, the unit will turn on and off with the ignition.

Paul I have never seen an on-off switch on my unit and unless something has changed since I bought my unit awhile back there is no timeout which then shuts the unit off. I accidentally left my unit plugged into my car when I left home to go on vacation and when I came back my car battery was as dead as a door nail.

Change the ignition switch. Mine did the same and changing the switch fixed it.

Nothing automatic about this unit. Plug it in, it's on. Unplug it, it's off. I have mine connected to a timer to run for a determined amount of time, usually 2 hours before I need to start my truck.

Hey Larry, When I turn off the A/C manually while it is on, it does not turn ON automatically when the on tab comes around. You have to turn it ON manually.

I unplugged my unit to test it and it came back on. I believe that the on/off switch has to be physically depressed to turn the unit off, so it should come back on when power is restored.

No, this uses less power than me accidentally leaving my map light on overnight. Most newer cars (especially Japanese makes) will switch the outlet with the ignition.

Someone already answered this just above you. This was the top one, I think: I unplugged my unit to test it and it came back on. I believe that the on/off switch has to be physically depressed to turn the unit off, so it should come back on when power is restored.

you have to looking for which fuse when you turn the ignition on after get power so you can hookup that fuse. If you hookup the fuse always get the power yes, it will run down the car battery.

Not right after storage. BUT, you gotta follow the instructions EXACTLY or it will not start. After it warms, all is good. I brought mine out of storage last spring and it took 2 of us about 30 minutes to figure out what we were doing wrong (had to look in the manual). After that, it started right up. I blame those stupid "pictographs" they put on the engine. It really confuses me.
