Thats the problem. It should only take 5 seconds to shut down. AND the power supply is supposed to cut off all power if your battery gets to around 10 volts. If your power supply was working properly, you would NEVER have a dead battery.

You see, I get out of my car and walk inside. Leaving a bright glow in my car for 20 seconds after I am gone would be unwise. Plus I would have to mute my sound, or turn all the way down or music would be playing after I left as well.

I tested the voltage. The ignition input must be over 5 volts for it to trigger. Having it just above 5 volts does nothing different however..same old crap.
