Will the power switch stay on? I want the unit to automatically turn on and off with ignition power and was wondering if this would be possible.

Yes. once the red button engaged. it will stay one, until you switch if off. meaning, it will control by your socket port power-which by the key ignition in most cars. the red button is design for fuse engagement, for the control of the electrical current.

But like my review said, the lights started going out after not even 2 days of using.

Yes it does automatically turn on and off. Bc it hooks into the cigarette lighter. And there in also a button on it and manually turn it off and on.

Of course ,yes it's possible.The unit will automatically turn on and off with ignition power.Red power press button is only if You don't want see any green display at all for some reason.

If your lighter plug turns on and off with the ignition switch and you leave the power to the unit in the on position then yes.

Yes the power switch will stay on. I installed a power socket under the dash and wired in to a switched power source and it comes on only when the key is in the run position

The device is plugged into the cigarette lighter which shuts off when the engine shuts off. There is also a button on the pluggin (lights up) that allows you to manually shut off/on the device which when in the "on" position allows the unit to automatically shut off when the engine is shut off.

Yes the power can be turned on so that it will come on and go off with the ignition power.

When the car ignition is off (key out of the ignition), does the unit need to be turned off too? no it turns off automatically.

Yes. I have mine in my center console and I never touch it. I just get into the car, turn it on, and it's connected. I don't even think there is a button to manually turn it on or off.

No, it won't power on when the car turns on. You have to hit the power button each time. It does automatically pair with my Iphone once on though. Also, it will stay on for awhile with the battery so if you run into a store and come back to the car, you wouldn't need to hit the power button again. Hope that helps.

I do not believe this will work with the lighter circuit if the circuit is hot all the time. It's been my experience that the circuit has to be interrupted by ignition switch activity to work properly. If you are looking for just voltage source where you activate and turn off your unit, it should work fine.

Yes. Applying manual disconnection is only possible when the ignition is off

I hooked up directly to the battery for now but you have to be careful because if you forget to manually turn them off you will kill your battery. I found that the hazard light switch has power that is controlled by the ignition so I will be changing power sources. Good luck.

I believe it does stay off, yes. I haven't experienced it with a power outage, but if I flip the switch that controls the outlet, it will not turn back on once I flip the power back on to the outlet.

There is also A yellow wire, that is the one that saves all the pre-sets. it should be "Hot" all the time. taped into a circuit Like a cigar lighter. these circuits usually stay powered up even after ignition is turned off. some newer cars are switch with the ignition. so you will have to check yours. the red wire is to be switch. it sounds like that is hooked right.

yes the unit stay on ,you need to fit a kill switch so it does not draw power overnight

the power light comes on when there is re-engaged power. The settings won't be re-iniated though. You have to manually slam the thing against the wall and call it a day. Its a one hit wonder, and I hit it once and wondered why I bought the dern thing! :)

no it does not. it will go on and stay on until power comes on or it runs out. if there is a power failure and it appears that it will last some time, i turn the device off. i also had the previous version of this and this feature (have an easy accessible switch) is great. maybe on the next version it can contact you although i am not sure what you will with that info.

Actually it can do either. I think the trick is to make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in the power. It is easily left in the on position after previous use where it shut itself off (but switch stays "on"). If you make sure it is off first, then it always shuts off correctly after reaching desired pressure. So check switch is off, connect power, connect air hose, check pressure desired, turn on. If I have to turn off then on, it keeps running after reaching desired pressure.

The instructions say that that is what the "Auto" on position is for but a little further down the page they also recommend turning the unit off when it is left unattended. I personally always put the unit in the off position, to avoid possible issue incase a real idiot bends over it wearing a neck tie and accidentally activates it, or spills liquid into it and sparks an electrical fire in a bin filled with finely shredded paper and paper dust. Odds of it happening, very unlikely, but have you ever read the Darwin Awards?

Yes, it does switch off itself when ignition is off. After 19,000 hours, I think it will be ineffective but you should still be able to use it. Honestly, I am not sure if it will still work after 13 years if I based on 4 hours usage a day. I would reckoned it has been a good return on investment. :-)

It's not a momentary solution. Power stays on until YOU decide to "unclick" it. It is an awesome lil gadget. I totally recommend it.

It doesn't have auto power on. I has auto power off, though. You have to press and hold the middle button for a few seconds to turn it on. You walk away from your car with your phone, and it loses connection with your phone, then it'll turn off by itself in a few mintues.
