Are there any switches that turn off when the car is turned off? I'd like the switches in the doors, but I don't want to monitor my passengers.

The system is intended to be connected to an ignition source of power so the seat heaters would not be operational unless the car is running or started remotely. This prevents the battery from being drained if the seat heaters are left on for an extended period of time.

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.

Most cars yes they will need to be on. Some cars have accessory ability when turned off.

Hi, I don't know that it's designed to auto-turn-off, however, mine does that as well. Very annoying indeed!

You don't ever turn them off (there is only an ON button, no off button). They automatically turn off when there is no signal for a few minutes.

You need a magnetic relay like this to either let your car turn off you lights if directly linked to your battery. If you're taking into another wire, like a break line, you don't need a switch as long as you are ok with always pairing whatever it is you're pairing to. I hope this helps. Check out how-to sites on relays and switches--you can even get step by steps and You-Tube.

I actually bought the remote switch so I can turn off and on from the driver seat. I installed it in the back. But it does have a on off switch. If you look at the pic and see two blue lights. 1 is the power and the other is a diagnosis/

Hi. I am not sure. When I turn off my car everything is off including power.

They do not auto-off. The manual says they do, but it's a lie. I own two of them.

it does not have an auto off option, but you can place the hi/lo/off switch in the off position and you will kill the power to the seat. Most connetors are not powered when car is turned off.

I had an issue with lights flickering after interrior lights shut off after turning off the car. (Time delay). Turned off my domeight over ride (so the lights don't come on when you open the door) and have not had a problem. We did however forget to turn off DVD player once before closing the unit but caught it after about 45 mins...

It turns off instantly whether you check or uncheck it. The parking mode works only if you have an extended battery. So, don't worry about car battery drain

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.

No it does not have a on-off switch. Easily unplugged however, right below the steering wheel area.

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 leave the power on when you turn car off then they will shut off and turn back on again when you start the car. Or you can shut on and off with the power buttons. I recommend doing this. You don't want these tv's to just be on and not being used. More likely to wear out faster.

Yes, it automatically turns off and on when you leave and enter your vehicle. Not sure how it knows how to turn. About 50% I have to mess with it (e.g. turn on and off the switch, reconnect my phone, plug it in to the charger, ask nicely) to have it turn on and connect with my phone. I'm beginning to lose my faith in the product. Great idea but definitely buggy when it comes to automatically connecting to your smartphone.
