For a permanent installation for a car stereo, I don't want to have to turn it on every time. Does it power on when usb power appears?

No it does not. It only powers on when u turn it on and it actually shuts off if you don't use it for a period of time.

No you'll have to initiate the sync by pressing the top button on the unit.

HI, it's powered itself. you just need to buy the set of wires to connect it to the stereo.

It will automatically power up when connected, no button to turn it on. I leave mine connected to the power source in my car. It powers up when I start my car and is ready for streaming immediately. You will need to do your initial pairing to connect it to your device. After that, everything is automatic.

There is a standard usb port on the back of the radio. Run the wire during the install and leave it.

Yes, it will power the connected USB device while it is on charging. However, please don't forget to press the power button to start it.

It works great to set it on your car dash ad forget about it until you need the power

Yes for sure. Seems like if it's on and I plug it in that it turns off and I need to turn it on again but other than that quirk it charges in car usb outlet, iphone charger plug, any usb outlet that has power.

I don't use mine in the car. But when I stop playing my iPod for say 30 min. I don't have to power it on. I don' t know if that helps, but that is all I got, sorry.

There is an on/off power switch but you can easily leave the switch to 'on' and utilize the USB cord as a power cord, so that when you plug it into your computer it will automatically kick on.

I have it to power my powerful sound system in my car. as far as I am concerned I got a new car battery at the same time it's been about a year no issues

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.

No. Once it's plugged it will turn on perfectly. Once unplugged, it will turn off and rest.

Didn't have a problem with mine. Plugged it in to the radio and it comes on when it powers up.

no, it is all the time as long as the unit is plugged in. the only way to disable it is to unplug it.

I don't think it really has to be powered constantly, it is just a recommendation so it doesn't have to reboot every time it gets turned back on. So you can turn it off if you want, there is nothing that says you have to leave it on.

If it is in a "constant" power source you can use the on/off button and it will not byes power. If you plug it in an ignition controlled outlet it will turn off when you turn your car off. Either way it will pair up when you are within 20 or 30 feet of your car and play the last song it played when you turned your car off.

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.
