Yes it does. I start my car and drive, and it records. I stop and turn my car off, it shuts down. VERY convenient! I love this recorder, and you'll be very happy with the quality off the playback. Day & Night Also...the video dosn't even shake.

It turns on automatically and turn off after about five seconds when you switch off the ignition.

Yes. It turns on and off using the thermostat setting. I have had two other units over the past few years and this is definitely the best I have owned.

Yes, it does, but these radios have some issue with power consumption if you don't turn them completely off before turning off the ignition. I have two of this type installed. One in a Toyota Camry and one in a BMW Z3 and both radios will drain the battery if not powered off completely. If you turn on the ignition and the radio starts up on its own then it has not been powered off completely. Also, if you insert a CD into the unit while completely powered off, it will go into the not completely powered off state.

It does not have an auto power on/off. I am not sure how much power it uses while idle. I don't have a way to measure it but I can say it have not noticed any difference in my electrical bill.

Yes, the device will automatically shut off when the car is turned off. You will never have to worry about it killing your car battery.

My unit does because my vehicle plug ins also shut off when I turn the car off. You need to check to see if yours does the same.

I just went through the manual and it doesn't mention power draw. However, the unit has an internal battery that supplies power until it runs low and then draws power from your vehicle to charge. There is a small blue/red light that displays what it is doing. During the set-up you can program the unit to shut off automatically after some period when you stop or leave the vehicle. It will automatically turn back on when you next start the vehicle. Plus, the on off button is readily accessible. This unit is so small I can't imagine it running a car battery down even if left on for a lengthy period (not programmed to auto turn off).

no it is just automatic or understood that it is on whenever the unit is running for heat/fan

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.

Hello. Once power is turned off, this unit will have to manually turned on by the "ON" button located on the front panel.

Daniel,I returned my 2798 so don't have all the answers. If your accessory plug-in (cigarette lighter) loses power when you shut off you car, the 2798 will shut down automatically. It will then turn on automatically when you start your car.Tracy

I assume you are refering to the "automatic signal sensing" feature, or better called "auto on/off". The answer is yes! It automaticaly turns itself on when when you begin listening to music (signal sensing), then turns itself off if no music is playing (does not sense a signal). It's a great feature. And a great subwoofer!
