How does it get it's power. Does it plug into the 7 pin plug on the vehicle

no it wires directly to the battery on the trailer. the hot wire comes with an inline fuse.

I wired mine directly to the battery that is mounted to the trailer tongue. Probably could wire it to the 7-pin, but then the tow vehicle would always need to be hooked up to use the jack.

When it is connected to your plug yes but it is best to have it connected to a battery

You plug it in. I works pretty well. It has better power than the battery operated kind.

No, it only plugs into what is already on the vehicle. I had a satellite radio already installed that it plugged into

Yes it does, plugs right in. Remember that because it only has one pin that it likes to come unplugged easily. Remedy, put a rubber band around it so it stays plugged in all the way.

No it doesn't. Your vehicle needs to be running to charge the battery. You may use it with your vehicle off but not for too long

Hooked it up to the car. Used between 5.5 and 6 amps. With the car on it went up to 7 amps. I have an "average" car battery and alternator. Other setups will cause different amps. At 7 amps you may note that it is about 75 watts.

It plugs in like a trailer does for taillights. An electrical connection goes from underneath car to scooter lift. I had a mechanic put one in for me. Can't remember cost but not too much.

It comes with a long car charger plug in that powers it. They include these sticky hook plates that allow you to keep the wires out of site and hidden. It's really plug and play which I loved. Very impressed. Buying a 2nd one for my other car too.

It gets the power from the 12 volt car or motorcycle battery. Not included. It would run off a small rechargeable 12 volt battery like you have in a kids electric car.

you need to hook it up to a power source that comes on when the ignition comes on

It comes with a power cord. It is a basic ground and hot wire set up. I bought a cigarette socket male end to wire it to so I could swap vehicles with ease without having to hard wire the radio to one vehicle.

none. you have to connect the supplied plug to the 12 volts battery of your car.

No it does not, but the harness on the vehicle plugs right in. If your harness is messed up, might have to buy replacement or rewire your old one.

Yes its easily pluged/powered by accessory port. However it can be hardwired to the vehicle

It does not. I has a harness with a red and black wire (hot and ground) to be wired into a 12v power supply.

there's no need to power it from a vehicle--it has it's own rechargeable battery pack which can be recharged using the included 120vac adapter. Why would you want to plug it into a cigarette lighter?

Yes, gets powered by the USB port. Yes and I have used a 12 Volt car adapter with multiple 5V outputs or any other 5 Volt usb adapter does the trick. No need to use the provided charger
