For those of you with the 710VGT screen, do you manually turn it on every time you turn on your car, or has anyone figured out how to have it auto-turn on when 12v is applied to it?

I was thinking about wiring in a circuit that outputs 1 second pulse to the power ON terminals of the screen.

Has anyone taken the screen apart to access the power on button?

I just leave mine on all the time, the screen auto shuts off after like 10 seconds but the green light stays on

"On all the time"...So you must have it wired directly to unswitched 12v? It does not drain your battery?

nope, battery stays fine, the only thing i can think of that is pulling anything from the battery would be the little green light, just try it like that for a night and see if it kills your battery, if it doesn't then you have you soulution
