Does the Ipod connection have constant power when the car is off?

It would appear that there is a constant power connection. My iPhone is able to charge when my car is off.

Yes and no certain ipod models like the 1st generation mini do receive constant power and will pause when you turn off the ignition and resume when you turn on the car again. Other models like the 3rd generation touch or iPhone will loose power when the ignition is turned off. It's a try and see situation

No. It will stop making sound threw the stereo while I am driving or parked while the car is running and then start making sound again. When sound is not made the iPod is still charging and playing. Also if iPod is left on and playing when the car is being turned off it will continue playing.

I guess it depends on whether or not your vehicle sends power to it when turned off. My Nissan does not, but my Jeep does. I leave them plugged in in both and so far have had no issues.

Yes, it stays on all the time, although in a low-power mode after being inactive for a while. It's always ready to respond to Airplay from a device like an iPhone. Mine is plugged in and ready all the time except when I unplug the power to carry it down to the basement or next to my exercise bike.

Yes, connect to a cig lighter outlet that doesn't stay on after the engine is shut off and the unit shuts off on it's own. Comes back live when engine/car is turned on.

Yes it is still consuming from your car but I always unplug mine when I get out of the car.

It will shut off, if your cig lighter shuts off when the key is off. The Ipod stays on for a while, until the auto shut off kicks in.

Yes, if it's plugged into a continuous power port and you leave it on. One way I can tell if it stayed on is when I try to unlock the car with my remote. You have to be right next to the car to unlock it. I would steal it if I broke into your car. So I don't know if keeping it on would do you any good. It's a good monitor of what goes on around your car.

I've never turned mine off.. But whenever I return home my iphone always can reconnect with no problem.

No. These types of products take very little energy, in most cars probably none when the car is off. The important thing to understand about this particular item is that it is poorly made and will not last more than a few weeks before it must be replaced.

No there isn't an on/off button, it should work just like a charger and the tiny screen should light up when you plug in your phone or ipod. Also in order for it to work you have to find a random radio station that's all static, then set the transmitter to the same station and you should be able to play the music in your car. 88.7FM always works for me in my area. Mine is still working very well so I hope it works for you too!

It will connect automatically , but it won't start playing . You have to hit play either on the screen or on your device. The player will put the song on pause when you turn off the car and unless it's playing when you connect it you have to unpause it.

yes it will turn off engine goes off a cigarette lighter but either way the Bluetooth devicedoes not take up nearly enough power to drain your battery and if it did stay on the whole time even with the engine off the Bluetooth device with automatic shut off after a few minutes of inactivity

I don't usually run the system on a battery unless I take it somewhere besides my desk but the power light doesn't go off when the iphone turns off so I would assume that it is still sucking power from the dock.

Yes. It will only keep you from disconnecting if it detects the engine running, which you want because a running engine without battery could overvoltage and cause problems.

No. You can leave it plugged in as I do. I do press the off button when I'm leaving the car, however.

Yes I leave it plugged in all the time but of course when the car is off it is not providing ant power.
