    do you keep your obd-ii plugged in 24/7?

    i just installed my carputer and i noticed my digimoto light stayed on when i turn my car off.

    will it drain the battery and if i keep it plugged in 24/7 will it affect anything?

    thanks.

    Doubt it will drain the battery. Same applies with most GPSs. The light stays on but it uses almost no power.

    Just use a amp meter between the battery + and the battery when the car is off, that will tell you how much is drained from the battery.
