Does the product switch off automatically when the car ignition is off?what happens after 19,000 hours?will i still be able to use the product?

Yes, it does. I plug it in the mid console outlet. But I understand that some car dash outlet is connect to the battery direct, in that case it will be constant on. 19000 hrs is a long time and I am not worry about. Even after that it should still run, but no more ion emit.

I bought this a couple of months ago. It will not switch off when the car ignition is off. I am really baffled why it was designed that way. I have no idea what will happen after 19,000 hours. I have only had mine for a relatively short time. I will have to wait till then to find out.

Yea when you turn off the ignition it turns off. I think the 19,000 hours is the life of the ionizer which is different from the filter that you have to clean every week. Its in the manual where you purchase the ionizer but it cost 40 dollars before shipping or tax

The ionizer takes power from the cigarette lighter socket in the car. If that power is off when the car ignition is off, the product would also be turned off. The product's manual states that the unit's ion generator needs to be replaced after 19,000hours, without which it would not work. But that is approximately 6.5years if it is used for 8hours a day. So it would last longer than 6.5years if daily usage is less than 8hours.

The design of the product is on the basis that it will cease operating after 19,000 hours. The reason for this (as explained in the information accompanying the product) is that the manufacturer wishes to ensure that the user gains a false impression that the unit is working effectively, after it has become exhausted.

I am driving a honda city 2009. It does switch off and on back automatically according to the car ignition. I just got the item less than 2 months, so not yet clocked 19,000hrs.

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 turns on automatically when I start the car, set to turn off 1 minute after I turn the car off. Also when you are bumped (G or gravity setting)the camera locks the loop so it can't be erased until unlocked.

Auto off means when you turn off your car's engine and the power to the unit got shut off, the unit will run certain seconds and then turn off by itself. I think you can go to the menu to set this up.

It will turn itself off after the vehicle remains motionless for about 10-15 minutes. You will have to manually turn it on.

I think that depends on the car, some cars turn off all electrical function when off and some stay on. But as long as the car is on you should be ok.

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 as long your power outlet (cigarette lighter) goes off when you turn off the engine.There is no On/Off button on the device

My outlet stays on when my vehicle is turned off. Most outlets are not powered when ignition is off in which case the lights would not work.

If you have kept the device ON while turning off the car, Device will turn back ON automatically when you start the car. Where as if you have switched device off, you have to press the button and turn it ON after the car start.

yes. the camera will turn itself off after you turn ignition off; it may take about 15 seconds to happen.

Does your car charger port shut off if you turned off the engine and remove the key? If it is the camera should turned off with in the time you set it up. And if the car port don't turn off after shutting off the engine you're going to do it manually. Hope this help.

I did it for 20 minutes and killed my alternator. Could have been a coincidence but the car worked fine the night before, ozonated before bed, stopped running on the way to work the next morning 6 am.

Also when you turn your engine off the camera will turn off after a few moments but the key is when ignition is turned off the 12 volt plug should also turn off in most cars if yours doesn't you'll have to power off the camera or unplug the power cord. The safest is to power off the camera.
