No need to have it running in parking mode when my vehicle is parked in the garage and drawing power for 10 minutes before it switches over to battery power. There is also no need to draw power from my battery pack while sitting in the garage. The switch is attached to the back of the battery pack and the battery pack is mounted out of the way in rear driver's side cubby to the back of the amp bracket. You can't even see the battery pack back there (blue box in last pic). Works like a charm. I can turn on and off my camera from the second floor of my house. The range is incredible. Forum member SmartSaves and myself worked on the switch concept together.

This is a great idea. Can you share how you have this wired with the eMylo switch? Did you cut and reuse the cigarette adapter or use install it into the hardwire kit? |
Yes, I spliced the cigarette adapter about 6 inches before the battery pack socket and soldered the wires for better contacts.
denaliman came up with this idea and helped me with planning and installing. Remote control fobs are working without any issues, love the setup.
