Can the replacement need to be turned on and off for each trip? Or can it be configured to turn on and off by the 12V supply.

Mine was wired to turn on the camera and display when the car is shifted into reverse and off when shifted out of reverse.

I can only say that mine came DOA and I haven't received a replacement yet - but my reading before buying it said you cannot leave it on overnight because it will run the battery down. You would have to buy a 110 v.a.c. plug in converter to run it overnight (like in a hotel room). It does have molded in carry handles on both sides.

It needs an adapter only if you don't want to buy the required 9 volt battery. Personally, if you remember to turn it off after each use, the battery will last over a year. I've had mine for almost 2 years and still haven't changed the battery. (My wife will let me know the second we need one!)

It says it requires a 12V battery as well. Can it be powered by the 12V battery, or is that just to store configuration, etc?

I wouldn't unplug it, as you run the risk of forgetting to plug it back in.As you start using it, you can start defining locations as Business or Non Business ("private").Then the systems starts automatically defining trips as Business or Personal based upon your Start/Stop points.Also, if you travel from Client One, stop at the grocery store (for example), then continue on to Client Two, you can combine the two trips so that it only appears as Client One->Client Two.(You will need to manually adjust any extra miles you drove to get to the personal stop)

The battery is replaceable and it is led. As far as amps via 12 volt I don't know

It's power by the vehicles 12 V system, its powered up when the vehicle Is started and down when the vehicle shuts off

No. To turn it on and off, you'd either have to wire it into a manual switch or possibly, if you can find one, a remotely-operated power switch.

You can replace it as long as you have a little know-how. Shut the electric off on the circuit breaker, and follow the directions...pretty easy

s to it.My application is industrial. I need to turn it on from just one place, even though there is multiple feeds to it. Any qualified electrician should be able to wire it to turn on and off from more than one location.

I'd guess turning it on when the power goes on to your car would be just fine, just fine a 12v switched signal and wire it to the same output. the only issue this would have is that if you didn't have the radio on it would still run. If you do that a lot, you could wire an in-line switch

Yes. There is an on/off at bottom front if I remember correctly. However, I am not sure it the 6Volt battery can be completely disconnected by the switch. It is better to remove the wire leads from the battery inside.

thanks for your response.you are correct in "..that the only time your Garmin is able to operate normally is while unplugged from..".i can't operate the unit when it's plugged in.that's where my frustration came from.i doubt that i have a bad 12v adapter. but you might be right. let me replace the car's adapter with another one and i'll update this discussion.

No, this uses less power than me accidentally leaving my map light on overnight. Most newer cars (especially Japanese makes) will switch the outlet with the ignition.

I don't see why it can't be but I wouldn't leave it on continually I would put a switch between it and the power source. And as far as the flickering goes you may want to check your ground wire just remember it is a small circuit board that will heart up so the longer it's on the shorter the life will be. But check all connections

Definitely. Just take note that the manual suggests unplugging it when not in use.

Should be able to its just a on/off switch that open the circuit to turn off and closes circuit to turn on just like any switch you are just opening the path of power whether it be 110V or 12V
