If powering this through the USB cable, say in a car, does the unit turn on automatically when starting the car?

Yes it does, this is how I am using it in my car. Also it auto pairs (unlike other devices).

I'm going to guess, no. The yellow rectangle you see to the right of the unit is a "push" on/off switch. It's a great unit, though, I will say. A little short on charge time and run time but well worth the small investment to use it. I've got it in my Walkman! Remember those?

Yes it does It must be plugged in all the time the unit is in use What the unit does not come with is the cable if needed to plug the unit into the truck at least for a GM vehicle that I have if it was not supplied with the truck.

There is an on/off power switch but you can easily leave the switch to 'on' and utilize the USB cord as a power cord, so that when you plug it into your computer it will automatically kick on.

No, I think you have to keep it plugged in. I always unplug it when I leave the car. Kind of annoying

No, power goes into the unit, not out of it. The "USB input" on this device is for power only, it is "micro-usb."

No it doesn't. I have to use an app with the car to charge at a set time. This unit is just on and if plugged in to the car will start charging.

No, it won't power on when the car turns on. You have to hit the power button each time. It does automatically pair with my Iphone once on though. Also, it will stay on for awhile with the battery so if you run into a store and come back to the car, you wouldn't need to hit the power button again. Hope that helps.

when you have it plugged into your usb port it will automatically start as long as your computer is powered on.

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.

The app is called "car" and it should launch as soon as the unit plugs into the power source. If you find the car app and you should unless you rooted your phone, (when you do some of the stock apps disappear) Go to manage apps and clear defaults for that app and insert it into the dock, it should then either ask you once or simply open the app automatically.

Yes, it automatically turns itself on and off. I have been very pleased with this unit.

Yes, because most vehicles AC power or cigarette lighter ports are not hot or on when the key is not in it. But if you turn your radio on by turning your key to the AC on the car will not be on but the power will be and yes it will work then.

Yes, turns on when you power up. I have not figured out how to manually turn it on yet.

Yes it turns on with the vehicle start. Also, once paired, the smart device will auto pair at start as well.

There is no 'switch' to turn on the USB. Plug the cable into your device and it charges. I do not know if there is an 'internal switch' of if power is always available. However, in regular plugs the power is always available and only when the appliance is turned on and the circuit is completed is power used. I also do not know if the 120 to 5v converter is using power even when the USB is not being used. Electricians?

no, and to me that's the biggest problem, i have to power it on every time. where it has to sit in my car and with such a short cable, it's a hassle.

It will automatically turn on and off with the vehicle if connected to switched power, so I would recommend that rather than using an always-on circuit and having to turn the camera on and off manually.
