The way this was installed when I turn off the key to the ignition the head unit shuts off as well. Anyway around this?

The accessory power cable needs to be wired to accessory power from the ignition switch. If you want the unit on without the switch on you have to wire the accessory wire directly to a hot wire, like the POS. on the battery. I believe the accessory wire is yellow but check your manual to be sure.

It has been a while since I helped my son install this stereo - but as I remember the yellow wire it always "hot" and the red wire is only hot when ignition is turned on (refer to installation instructions) - hope this helps or at least points you in the right direction

It shuts off around 20 seconds after my doors are locked. If I pop my trunk to look at it, it will light up and say ~12.4 for 10 seconds or so.

Your best bet would be to install a FUSED accessory plug. You may find accessory power, ignition off, in the fuse panel either in the dash area or under the hood. Not sure which area is the best fit for your vehicle.

Depends on your vehicle on my newer hyundai when the key is taken out all electronics are shut off and when they key is on they all turn on. I have a newer GM vehicle that does not do this if I don't unplug the unit from the cigarette lighter it stays on, but the draw is so small like 7mA that it would take a month or two of not ever starting it to kill the battery. This is a great product!

You connected the battery power and dash power wrong you may have them backwards. The battery power keeps the device on but turns it off when the key is turned off, the dash power cable will only work for illumination purposes. The manual explains it and refer to your vehicle's specification to your stock wires. Btw auto zone has connector adapters for many vehicle makes and models so you don't have to cut your vehicles wires

Once installed you just need to turn your key to on, dont start it and let it sit for about 5 mins. The unit will go through its learning mode.

Mine does the same thing, it's common with LEDs. They have very little draw and should turn off completely when the car is off.

Yes, I have that head unit as well. Just remember to turn on the input after you plug it in. For a while I thought it was broken, but soon figured it out.

I dont believe it does. My car turns all power off to it when I turn the ignition off so has never been an issue for me.

When your take your keys out of the ignition... it turns off the ability to draw power from your car battery. You wouldn't have a problem with this.

It turns off when the ignition is off but if your cig lighter is constant power then just in plug it from the cig lighter

I never had this problem. My guess is it's defective or maybe a wiring problem. Sorry, not much help. The hood we installed works and looks great. So, I'm guessing it's a defect of some kind.

Dear customer,Thanks for your email,This item will turn off check engine warning lamp, clear codes and reset monitor status, and maybe you should take it to the 4S of cars or the garage to check what's up with your car issue, hope can help you.Best regards!

If you wire the system to the ignition so when the key is off the power is also off so it won't drain your battery

No, the unit is light-powered and you just put it back when finished and it automatically turns off. I, too, was baffled out of the box looking for off-key.
