Does this have to remain plugged in? I went to Home Link and it says to throw their repeater in the glove compartment of your car for further use.

The repeater (the part with the antenna) needs to be plugged in at all times. The hand held remote needs to be saved in case you need to program another garage door opener.

I believe they want you to hold on the the repeated remote incase you want to add an additional vehicle at a future date.

Yes. I plugged mine in on the ceiling along with the garage door opener. They give you a little clicker looking thing that you use to pair the repeater with your opener. That is the only time you'll use that. I clipped it up by the opener motor in case I ever need it again. Probably never will.

yes, it should be left plugged into your cigarette lighter at all times. then when you turn the car on it starts recording, when you turn the car off it stops

Yes, you just don't use or set up the repeater function. if mine is set up in repeater mode. repeater mode is news to me because i just use mine for AirPlay.

It needs to be plugged in to work. In a vehicle you can use the cord that comes with it, but in the house or work you can buy a optional cord that will plug into wall. I will say this is the best item I have bought in a long time. R everywhere I go out goes with me.

Yes, it will return to it's last mode. RFI might be a problem if it's used close to an AM radio. A capacitor on the output might be helpful. Other than that, it works really nice.

No, My plug stays hot when vehicle is off so the radio stays on. I have to turn it off manually.

It must stay plugged in. If you have a Bluetooth radio, you may have some interference in the picture as mine did.

You will still need batteries once outside of the car. This only acts as a wall adapter would inside your house and provides power as long as it is plugged into the unit.

I've been in other environments where we have had other "repeaters" working in conjunction, but I've never done it with this particular model. Double check with manufacturer.

Nope. The car needs a power outlet that stays on all the time. Just about all recent cars [at most 1999 to present] have an always on power outlet although it may take a while to find it.

The person I purchased this unit for, leaves it plugs in at all time. She unplug unit for several day while on vacation, and the battery died. So I suggest you leave unit plug in at all time to preserve the battery life.

I kept it plugged into my car all the time, so I am not sure whether this caused the issue with it not working after a short period of time.

Its your choice, either to leave the plug in or out. I always unplug mine when I turn off the car. The sensors are durable. And you cannot change the batteries. You have the change the whole sensor.

Yes, you can leave it plugged in 24/7. If you were not going to start your car for a month, you might want to unplug it, but even then, it wouldn't use enough power to drain your battery. If you have a digital watch, think how long it will run on it's little tiny battery. Just about the same thing with this little voltage meter. I have mine in a boat and I never unplug it.

No, it does not need to be plugged into your computer. It does work off wireless internet access. If your work has WiFi then the radio should work just fine.

No- It needs plugged into an outlet. It is also several inches thick (a little hard) & prob. would not work well in a car anyway.

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.
