So does the screen turn off once the car is put in drive?

it depends you can set it up to turn on when you put it on in Reverse, or you can set it up to turn on and off whenever you want. it depends on which fuse you hook it up to.

Yes. The monitor turns off when the car is in drive, and automatically turns on when in reverse. You can physically turn on the monitor when the car is put in drive so that it stays on.

The only way it turns off is if you unplug it from the cigarette lighter plug. You can change the settings so the screen doesn't stay on for more than a minute when it is first plugged in. I use that time to check the camera views to make sure it is recording where I want it to. It hardly uses any battery power, especially if the screen has timed out as I left mine on for a week trip when I left it in the airport parking lot. Car started right up.

If it sits idle it will turn off although I did not have a problem with this function while using same.

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.

When I shift into reverse (at which time power is applied to the connected backup camera via a tie-in with the backup lights), the screen comes on immediately. And yes, as soon as the video input stops, the monitor shuts off.This is the camera I use with the monitor:Esky EC170-08 High Definition Car Rear View Backup Camera

Yes. Here's how the screen function works:1. When not connected with the AC power adapter (solely on battery power) the screen will automatically time out after approximately 2 min. Audio will remain "on". You can keep the screen from turning off by pressing the screen button (lower right side, second from the bottom) which will keep the screen on but obviously use more power.2. When connected to the AC power adapter simply press the screen button to toggle the screen on & off. Otherwise the default setting with the power adapter connected is the screen on. The audio will remain on and is adjustable via the onscreen menu. Hope this helps! Yes. Here's how the screen function works:1.

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

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, 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.

Yes, closing the display leaves the camera working. It has indicator lights on the exterior that are always on to show what mode the unit is in, so it will still draw attention to itself at night. I cover them up.

No. My phone will eventually turn the screen off, but not as soon as I close the case.

Your unit should not be shutting down at all. This unit when hooked up right will bypass the safety function so you can get into the menu screen while the car is not in park.

The only soultion I can really offer is just making your screen auto-turn off after a few seconds. I noticed that problem as well, though I don't mind it because I'm actively using the dock to display temp, speedometer, etc. so I don't really turn off the screen.And of course, you shouldn't have to, as the battery should be charging while it's docked.

You can only turn it off with the switch in the back off it, and sometimes that wont turn it off. You may even have to unplug it to turn it off. It has a faux shutoff button on screen but it only turns the video off to make the appearance that the system is off, but in actuality it only turns off the display to the TV.
