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.

There is a setting for auto start. I don't use that option, so can't speak to how well it works. I use the manual start/stop option.

The screen opens automatically or whatever you want. When you go into reverse, it opens if closed and shows backup camera. Sometimes it takes time to show back up camera. We also installed an additional switch so we could put into back up mode only while maneuvering the car back and forth getting out of tough parking areas.

I took it to a car alarm installer. They hard-wired it to a power source that is only on, when the ignition is on. When I start the car, the camera is powered on. The negative of that is there is NO "parking mode" available when the engine is off.

Once the vehicle engine is started, the device automatically turns on. If the Automatic Record function is enabled, the recording will automatically start right after the device turns on. See Set Automatic Recording or more information.

Mine does the same thing, it's common with LEDs. They have very little draw and should turn off completely when the car is off.

It will automatically power up when connected, no button to turn it on. I leave mine connected to the power source in my car. It powers up when I start my car and is ready for streaming immediately. You will need to do your initial pairing to connect it to your device. After that, everything is automatic.

Dear JT KlingerThanks for your inquiry.Just connect the wires to the positive and negative charges of your car and then this item will be turned on automatically.But please be noticed that you should not press the "off" button, if you do, you need to press the "on" again.Sincerely yours,Astra Depot

Check your connection to the reverse lamp circuit with a test light or volt meter and make sure your monitor is is connected to constant power it will turn on automatically when in reverse and off when in park or any other gear

Does the camera turn on and start recording automatically when you start the car (w/ cigarette plug that switches on/off)? Also, the manufacturer seems to recommend only using their own memory cards. Has anyone run into issues while using other brands?

I do not know. I never used it automatic mode, always start manually. I use it more outside of the car, that in.

Yes it does come on automatically to what ever input was last toggled to. For the most part I leave mine to all 4 cameras the Quad display. When I am hooking up or pulling a trailer I would toggle to just rear view full screen and it holds that setting after power down/up.

Just did a install on a diesel there is a wire to connect to the wait to start light then following that you can set it to start immediately or wait up to 20 seconds for it to start. Works well on my 7.3 idi

The only way it turns off is if you unplug it from the cigarette lighter plug. You can change the settings so the screen doesn't stay on for more than a minute when it is first plugged in. I use that time to check the camera views to make sure it is recording where I want it to. It hardly uses any battery power, especially if the screen has timed out as I left mine on for a week trip when I left it in the airport parking lot. Car started right up.

Your car, not the wall unit, decides when to initiate charging. At least that is how it works with my Nissan Leaf and the GE WattStation. If the timer is off, it will start charging immediately upon plug in. If the timer is on, it will follow the timer's instruction.
