Are you supposed to keep the module on the base at all times, or take it off when not in car?

I personally leave it on the base all the time except when I'm using it in the house or garage. I do remove it to use in other areas besides the car and it works great. i'm buying another one for the wife.

you can take the module off and use independently ... however ... the module as a stand alone only last a little over an hour with a full charge ... hope this makes sense ...

I keep the module on the base all the time because my car will cut the power to the outlet once the the car is off. The module will turn off automatically after 2-3 minutes if it lost the bluetooth connection to phone. So I leave it on all the time, as long as my phone stay off the Bluetooth rang(20-30 feet)for a short time, which it's not a problem.

The top piece easily detaches, its a held by a magnet. I take it off only on hot days and throw it in the love box. I'm worried it'll mess up the wiring.

The instructions say, in broken English, that to extend the life of the battery, you should not leave it plugged in all of the time. I leave mine plugged in anyway (I don't care about the battery) because I find that it transmits better when it's attached.

We only use this during training and so not leave it on when not training. As a result there are no problems.

Even though I leave it on our Suburban most of the time, I have never had a problem removing & reattaching. It is well designed and very easy. The only issue I have ever had is the backup sensor will not work due to the placement of the rack, but the rack is worth it especially on a long trip.

Yes, you can move it around or take it out. The base is sticky though you will need some effort to be able to pull it off. I was moving the first that I bought between two vehicles untill I bought the second.

I don't think leaving it attached 24/7 would hurt it any. The way I have mine set up I do have take it off because the power cord runs over a walkway but I don't think leaving it on all the time would be a bad thing ...just read the instructions carefully but I didn't see anything about that .awesome light

Pretty much. I often set it off by accident just by picking it up or moving stuff around in the compartment I keep it in. I don't consider that a major drawback, though.

That's your call. With mine I just leave on the vehicle, you never know when you might need it ? I have in the past, removed them once, for me it was no rocket science to remove them or re-install them.

Is it ok to store in the vehicle? I read the manual and it says never to let it freeze and store at room temperature.

It is a 2 part answer . If you use it regularly then it is fine to leave the batteries, but if it only gets occasional use or is stored, you must remove the batteries. This is not a rule for this lamp but all battery operated devices without regular use the batteries will corrode against the contacts and will destroy both your device and the batteries. All battery and device manufacturers warn of this.

This certainly depends on the individual's preference. I remove the rack if I am not going to be using it for the day. I assume if I was camping and leaving the car next to the camping spot, I would not remove the rack.

Not an issue... I leave it plugged in to the OBDII all of the time. I do take the remote control head off of the phone cord and stash it in the glove compartment when I will not be towing for a while. This is a great, responsive brake controller that works like you hope it will.

Near the battery is not recommended. But you can put it under the seat or attached to the chassis, hidden, of course.

It definitely is removable, though I would imagine that constant moving of it back and forth between vehicles would result in some decreased sticking of the base. It relies mostly on the sticky outer ring to hold it in place so I would assume after repeated movement it would lose some of that.

I don't see any benefit of leaving it plugged in, if enough time passes I'm sure the battery pack would die. I personally unplug mine when ever I finish using it for my ride.

This module is located under the dash on the passenger side. You will have to remove a protective cover. It is held in by two screws. Easy job. Have you checked the blower?

Depends on if the 12 volt outlet is constant or switched. If it is always on when the car is off and you will be away from the car for more than a few hours it should be unplugged as it has a minor current draw.

No. And for safety reasons, I wouldn't recommend doing either leaving it on constantly, or running it when not at home.
