I wish to leave my C5 in the dock at all times due to very poor reception out in the country. Does this dock shut off to preserve the battery when it is fully charged???

I doubt it. It's basically a stand for a phone with a charger attached. I have one got a Galaxy phone and it works like a regular charger.

Yes, the power light is always on ... I do not believe their is any physical switch to turn the dock off.

I don't usually run the system on a battery unless I take it somewhere besides my desk but the power light doesn't go off when the iphone turns off so I would assume that it is still sucking power from the dock.

It will remain in what ever setting at the time you turn it off. For long idle times, you want it to be in the open/wild mode. If you leave it in the closed mode, it will drain your battery.

I haven't used the dock with it connected physically to a speaker, only with my phone connected to a speaker or headphone by bluetooth. There's no problem using it while charging under those conditions.

When you charge the device, it will be automatically turned off...you have to reconnect it after it is being charged!

set your screen to time out in 15 seconds when on the dock. I only have my phone in the dock when I am running a GPS app. Not sure why you would have the phone up in a charging dock on the windshield if you did not want the screen lit up.

I emailed the company about this very issue. They said that was a feature on the prototype but was never programmed into the regular production models. I was told it will not turn off but that it should be fully charged in about 5-6 hours.

Yeah, mine will get stuck and become unresponsive at the unlock screen and you have to hold the power button to force a power down. Sometimes it won't start up again if the battery has completely drained *even after it is recharged*. When this happens, I have to connect the power cord, hold the power button, wait a few seconds, then it will boot and I can disconnect the cord and see 100% battery. This actually happened right out of the box after charging for 6 hours too. For the most part it is pretty slick though. I can't if there's an easy way to close "background apps" or not though.

Yes, I leave mine off until I get down to about 20-30% power on until recharged to 100%. I'll turn it back off and I can do that 2-3 times per case charge, unless I forget to turn it back off when recharging the phone. Be aware that it does get warm to the touch when charging the phone, not too hot but you know it's on. Also make sure your lighting plug port is clean as if it traps dirt or anything it can scratch the connections and cause issues with the phone. Otherwise highly recommended.

Important note: Instructions state to never remove device from dock while power is on. Could damage device.

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.

"Maintenance Mode/Float Mode charging" --- from the product description, so yes, the docked device is kept fully charged. The device itself is used as a jump starter.

I have never had this problem with mine. I do know that if you turn the sound down to silent on everything you won't have that problem when it's on the dock!

I have the same problem with mine. Had them both for quite a while now. Since i have 4 controllers, i have 2 charging docks. It only happens on the bottom charging station. Not sure why but it does. Finding the sweet spot is no longer worth it. Sorry i can't tell you more, hopefully soon i can find out why.

No you have to take case off. You have to have it plugged in to use.I like it because sounds good, and always charging while in the dock

It depends on your case. One of my cases allows me to dock it, the other doesn't. In that case, I use the cord charger. There is a USB port in the back of the radio.
