Does it have a power on - power off switch on the unit itself or on the remote? In a VW the power sockets do not turn off with the ignition switch.

No it doesn't have power switch. You will have to unplug it when you turn of ignition.

It Doesnt. You will need to unplug it or else your battery will drain just like mine.

I just got mine. It has a power button and a remote control. You can turn off the power from both. I suppose there is still some power draw, so you might want to consider unplugging it.

Yes, if it has power from the car battery and you cut off the ignition it will turn off automatically in about 15 seconds. If you want to keep it on you have about 15 seconds to push a button to keep it on.

When you hook up the power wire, you will use an ignition source and the heater will turn off with the ignition. But, you have to manually turn off the switch if you do not want it to come back on when turn the ignition back on. It only takes a minute to figure out that the heater is on! This one heats up very fast.

No it does not have a on-off switch. Easily unplugged however, right below the steering wheel area.

No, it' shuts on or off, no power control. I let it run for 15-20 min then unplug it. There's no on/off switch, just a plug. I really like it though.

I assume your qeustion is if the product can be left connected while the car is off. I'd say yes, it will turn off I think. Although I haven't tried it. But in case the 12V port inthe car stays on it may drain the car battery since it has a fan that spins when connnected to power.

Agree with previous response, yes it does turn off, I think its a design flaw, hopefully they will make newer version which will have some battery backup to cover moments like starting the car. But it does restart where it was, I did not have to do anything, not so for game DVDs, but movies yes.

The only way the light will turn off is by manually pressing the button. I had mine plugged into the car power plug rather than connecting it straight to the battery so it turns on only once the key is turned rather than when the inner lights turn on.

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.

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 unit powers on any time the DC is applied. I leave this unit plugged in to a DC jack which turns on and off with the ignition key. I have not had to manually use the power switch on the unit to restart it.

You turn it off and then back on either by the power button on the unit or by the button on the remote. It's kind of annoying, it trips with low power or high power (if you have agm batteries that charge up to 14.6v like i do although I use so much power it's only hit the high end twice.)

All depends on how you connect it. If you are using the power ports in the car, some shut off when the vehicle is turned off some do not. Mine is wired directly to the battery.

no has power switch on off on the black box mine under the seat witch is easy to get at.

It depends on your car and how the cig. socket works! Most cars, the cig. socket switches off when your car is off. You can test it out pretty easily, just plug in a gps or another electric item into the cig. socket. Turn off your car and see if the GPS turns off or says there is no power.

I just went through the manual and it doesn't mention power draw. However, the unit has an internal battery that supplies power until it runs low and then draws power from your vehicle to charge. There is a small blue/red light that displays what it is doing. During the set-up you can program the unit to shut off automatically after some period when you stop or leave the vehicle. It will automatically turn back on when you next start the vehicle. Plus, the on off button is readily accessible. This unit is so small I can't imagine it running a car battery down even if left on for a lengthy period (not programmed to auto turn off).
