Will the device work on GM cars and is all power denied to the device when switched off? Thanks

yes it works on all newer models and if you leave the device on it stays on that's why I bought the one with the on off switch if your battery goes dead while the devices on it will fry the device

Hi, this item compatible the GM cars (after 1996), and yes, it will power denied to the device when you switched off.

I had the same question. I emailed E-PRANCE and you have to leave it on 1 minute and it will turn the E-PRANCE off after 1 minute and not run down your car battery

No device works that way to my knowledge. The cigarette lighter/auxillary plug in your vehicle isn't wired in such a way that the battery can draw power from it.

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.

Rocky, yes, if your Garmin will not operate while plugged into the cars 12V port, then something is really haywire! No wonder you are frustrated. Hope everything works out well for you.

If you mean the scanner, it is powered from your car battery when you plug it into the OBD port. If it is not turning on, it is not getting power from the port or it has failed. You can try it on another car to see which.

That depends entirely on your car. The outlet in your car determines whether power goes to the device or not. Not the device.

Yes, if you use it with your car turned off. As long as the engine's running your battery won't be drained.

Have you tried it on other vehicles?Sounds like a faulty device, check it in a friend's car.

No I don't think it will work. Its an aftermarket that will work if you have an aftermarket radio. If you have the original GM radio it will not work. I had to send it back.

Yes it will work great, just unplug it immediately after you are done straightening. Don't just turn off the power button( I did that and left it plugged in my car and it killed my Subaru's battery) I now only use it when I am driving. It killed my battery twice. One time i left it plugged in my car outlet over night and the other time I had my car parked( not engine fully running I was just using the battery to charge my phone) and it literally killed my battery in 15 minutes. I only use it while driving and it is perfect now.

Yes, if it's plugged into a continuous power port and you leave it on. One way I can tell if it stayed on is when I try to unlock the car with my remote. You have to be right next to the car to unlock it. I would steal it if I broke into your car. So I don't know if keeping it on would do you any good. It's a good monitor of what goes on around your car.

I had the same problem. Used this unit as portable power during power outages, to charge phones etc., and it works fine for that. First time I tried jumping my car (with the unit fully charged) it didn't come close to turning over the engine. Jump-started the dead car from my other car with no problem, though. Yes, the power was switched on. Very disappointed that I can't keep it in the trunk and rely on it to get me out of a jam.

Nope.. I tried and not only did it not work, (powered on but fluctuated) it blew out my outlet in the back of my car :(

The scanner has the ability to be powered in more ways than one. I can only assume at the moment that you rely on the power directly from the connection to the car via the cable and plug in adapter. Have you tried to power it using the Power Adapter supplied with the scanner? Give it a try if you have not already. Obviously, if it still does not work you will need to contact the supplier and return it for an exchange.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you're asking if it will still work without the car being either on or on accessory, every car I've ever been in does maintain power to the cigarette outlet even when the car is completely off. If that doesn't work, just turn your car on accessory and it will work fine. You just turn the switch on the invertor on. I'd recommend turning the interior lights off in your car while doing this or run the cord through the window to prevent running the battery dead. If you do that, you won't have a problem with your battery going dead, not even close.

Yes it should work as long you are using it occasionally, I wouldn't recommend it for an everyday use. The power inverter MUST be turn off each time the car is not running. I had to replace battery and alternator because of it.
