Does this device power on automatically when power is applied? I want to power it via an ignition switched power source so it turns on with the car.

It comes with a 12volt plug for a cigarette lighter power or aux 12 volt power. The power connector is wired to the device.

That sound like a good project.This product does not have a battery, so it only is powered when plugged in and the current is on.if you take it out of the cigarrete lighter it goes off.

It depends on your make of car. On my 2006 Mini and the wives 2008 VW Rabbit the power to the 12volt plug is cut completely when the ignition is off. The device powers up once the ignition is started. Therefore you have no need to add a kill switch. On older cars or other makes they might not kill the power to the adapter when the ignition is off, so unplugging it (although inconvenient) is the best way to go to keep your battery healthy.

It plugs into the cigarette lighter. Therefore, it powers on with the ignition switch.

Robert the device plugs into your 12 volt adapter or cigarette lighter ...so there is always voltage there after you turn the car off I pull mine out a little so it does not make a connection that's the only way to disconnect from your battery. but there's no problem. I would highly recommend this product I love mine it is totally hands off thru your car speakers. Just like onstar

This device contains no battery. It obtains power from the same OBD-II socket that provides data about speed, RPMs, etc. As noted elsewhere, in most cars this means the device turns on and off automatically when you start and stop the car with the car's ignition switch. In a few cars, the OBD-II socket provides power even when the ignition switch is off, so you would need to plug and unplug this device each time you use the car, which would probably wear out the unit's harness rapidly.

Hi, this item compatible the GM cars (after 1996), and yes, it will power deniedto the device when you switched off.

I have it plugged into an "always on" power port and no problems turning it on. Touch my galaxy S4 to it, they connect, I play and it works nicely with my 1kW car audio system. Sound profile is nice, and output is much hotter than the phones built in port.

you have to looking for which fuse when you turn the ignition on after get power so you can hookup that fuse. If you hookup the fuse always get the power yes, it will run down the car battery.

Not sure, I wired mine to my aftermarket stereo so it only turned on when the stereo has power running to it?

there is no on / off button for this device, it takes power from the cigarette plug, so for most car, when the engine is on, cigarette plug will give power and the device will be turn on automatically and vice versa. Please note though, some car gives power from the cigartte plug regardless, if that happens, there is a diconnecting point on the cable, close to the device, from there it can be disconnected. That is also, if you have more than one power cables, you could also share same device without removing all the well hidden cables. As for the audio, it's set from menu, you could have it turn on and it'll automatically on until you set it off from the menu. Hope this explains Marie of Kiwavcom

If it doesn't turn on with the vehicle, there's some kind of mechanical issue with device. It should just turn on with the car.

Yes. Plugs into a cig. lighter socket. On/off button. If the socket powers up only when ignition is on, the unit will turn on and off with the ignition.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you're asking if it will still work without the car being either on or on accessory, every car I've ever been in does maintain power to the cigarette outlet even when the car is completely off. If that doesn't work, just turn your car on accessory and it will work fine. You just turn the switch on the invertor on. I'd recommend turning the interior lights off in your car while doing this or run the cord through the window to prevent running the battery dead. If you do that, you won't have a problem with your battery going dead, not even close.

You have the constant power wire on the car hooked to the power wire of radio. This is only for memory, hook this to the yellow memory write and run you power to a key on sourcE

Yes. When I either turn the vehicle on or off the device will startup or shutdown.

I'd guess turning it on when the power goes on to your car would be just fine, just fine a 12v switched signal and wire it to the same output. the only issue this would have is that if you didn't have the radio on it would still run. If you do that a lot, you could wire an in-line switch

The volume switch is also the on switch so no it does NOT automatically power on. Great device btw.

No. But you'd have to wire the power to a live source when ignition is off.

My 12v is switched with the ignition on my car. It automatically starts on the song it left off on for me.

Yes it did but the device wont work if there is a bad starter. alternator or bad battery. It will only work if you left the lights on in the car and it drained the battery
