whats your shutdown delay on your opus?

Trying to decide what I should put my delay as
Right now its set to 10 second....but I sorta want the next one up, 20 minutes (I wish there was a 5 or 10 minute)

Id like it to have a longer delay than 10 seconds so that when I pull into my driveway and turn the car off, the computer has time to synch up with my main computer and download all the new music files automatically (only needs 5 minutes or so)

But, I'm worried about battery life. Obviously 10 second is much safer



So what do you guys use?

10secs here. I kind of wish there was a bit more granularity in that setting. 10 or 20 minutes is just too long, IMHO.

how often do you sync new files? if its not often, you can just run your car for those five minutes, or...sync them when you start your car before you leave.

You should be fine with 20 minutes. It wont kill your car battery. Ive run mine longer than that. started right up.

I've set mine for 20 min., if I stop somewhere along the way I have zero reboot time. GPS stays connected just need to pause music.
