yokechye 4th Gear January 9, 2017 Share January 9, 2017 Hmm... ok, i'll try to check the spec of the car cam, to ascertain whether it will cut off a few min after the engine is cut off. But if the power supply is not cut off, how will the car cam be able to know when to start any 'countdown' after the engine is cut off? I've not installed the cam yet, for fear that it will drain the batt dry after engine cut off... Will try to find out from the company that brought this in first... tks. OK tks. Yup, had heard from others that conti cars look to have the power continue running after engine cut. Will need to think of a way out... Not all I supposed. My new conti ride does shut power off to the 12v after engine cutoff ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrecord Supersonic January 9, 2017 Share January 9, 2017 Not all I supposed. My new conti ride does shut power off to the 12v after engine cutoff hmm... really? Wah, then different brands do different things, no standard leh... btw, what car are you driving now? Wonder whether got any switch to put at the aux power jack, so that can easily switch it off, or if mechanic can adjust to cut power when engine cut...

I use an aftermarket adapter for the 12v socket, with individual switches, so I can control what needs to be off when the car is off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far so good, *touchwood* havent had any trouble. Had no choice also, needed to avoid draining the battery without having to plug out and in to the socket constantly.

So far so good, *touchwood* havent had any trouble. Had no choice also, needed to avoid draining the battery without having to plug out and in to the socket constantly. Yup, i'm feeling the same way too. Will go and look around challenger and car accessories shops to see whether got decent ones that aren't too expensive. Do you remember which one you bought?
