I would like the pc to shutdown based on when the accessory power goes off, not when the car is turned off.
I have the M1-ATX wired up to the factory stereo plug's power + ground leads, and it works fine. The computer stays on after the car is shut off, and finally shuts off as soon as the door is opened. I have it set to go into standby, so as soon as I open the door, 5 seconds later the computer goes into standby. When I get back in, and start the car, 5 seconds later music is playing. You can roll into a parking spot, kill the engine, and still have the computer running as long as you do not open the door.
