do the electronics in the car affect it?

ABSOLUTELY. I bought it since the new car was sands a compass--no joy, interior metal frames and electronics played havoc with it. I tried it in my truck (full size) and still too much clutter. I finally bought my wife a Tom Tom for her new car and gave the compass to a friend of mine who owns a hummer (not sure how that worked out, but free is free). Sorry...

I havent heard much about it hurting the electronics but i would recommend upgraded your battery and motor and amy other accesory tied in with the battery

I don't know what you mean by that. With the wire plugged in, you should still be able to listen to the radio and cd's. To listen to music from the wire you installed, press "Media." At least that's what it is in my car. It may be "Aux" in others.

It depends on where the OBD connection is in the particular car whether the actual GPS device can be seen. You'll have to check your specific situation. No, it dies not drain the battery at all.

Yes, because most vehicles AC power or cigarette lighter ports are not hot or on when the key is not in it. But if you turn your radio on by turning your key to the AC on the car will not be on but the power will be and yes it will work then.

Yep, that is it. It merely transmits data from your cars computer to the app. The app has the real power (which in it's current state is limited)

No you don"t Pheng, you can drive with no adverse effects on either your car battery or the electrical system on your vehicle. I leave mine plugged in all the time, unless I'm using a different device, ie; radar detector, GPS, etc.

If it does, it is closer to 10%. In my car it is very minor difference between plugging straight in or using the ground loop isolator. Most of the noise cut out for me is just extra static.

If its just a charging port, no. My car also has another USB connector in my glove box and that is also connected to my Aux in my radio. I hope I answered your question.

Yes, it does. However, it's sometimes flaky and takes more than one try to get car mode to engage.

No it doesn't, plus i cannot understand how a battery can affect the signal reception, so my answer again is No it does not affect signal in any way.

Yes, it allows music to play via the speakers. No, it does not matter which car lighter it is plugged into

The device doesn't drain the battery any more than all the other computer stuff on the car. Yes, if someone can see it if they know to check the computer port (or if the car goes in for service, the technicians plug their computer into the same port). I bought an OBDII Extension Cable from Amazon at the same time and taped over the lights on the device after I installed it. It sends the GPS data whenever it is in cell coverage. I've had it for a couple of years and he hasn't found it yet. And yes, he does cheat on me.

This is news to me. I bought mine a year ago. Still have no issues. I use the radio and the CD player most of the time.

From my own experience convinced that the magnet does not change the operating characteristics of the phone. Connection via Wifi and bluetooth is installed with all the devices in the car (DVR and native receiver) without problems.

We have not experienced any interference. Note that this device connects directly to the antennae adapter (inline). When active, it automatically disconnects the car's antennae, making it less susceptible to interference.

Yes it's only charging won't affect anything else...I've used it while driving & using my gps. works great!
