Re: Question......
I recommend putting a voltmeter or test light on likely fuse box terminals.
Then see whether key-on key-off makes it light up and go out.

Re: Question......
As per instructions, it is wired directly to the battery + terminal. There is
an inline fuse and the unit can be turned on manually, but will turn off in 2 minutes IF it doesn't detect the cell phone that it is linked with. (Bluetooth) It's no big deal to turn it on manually, it's just that there is another wire that can be used to trigger it whenever the ignition is turned on or off. The unit will NOT turn off unless the cell phone is taken more than 33 feet away or turned off. I imagine the draw is almost negligible anyhow. Thanks to all for their input.
