Auto On when car is started.

Post by DAV0320 »

I see the V2 unit powers off automatically ~15-20 seconds after shutting the car off. But I notice it does not turn back on automatically when the car is started without unplugging and plugging it back in. Is this right, or is there a setting I missed during initial set up?

Screen goes off at 20 seconds. Unit goes to sleep at 2 minutes. You must have an 18 accord? They added a gateway which prevents CAN data from waking the unit and the next firmware update will keep the unit in a lighter sleep mode for 18 Accord models.

Yessir, 2018 Accord.
Good to hear an update will help with that. I imagine that will simply require an update to my current V2 through PC or laptop?
Out of curiosity, is there a timeline when the update will roll out?

Yessir, the software will ask you to update when connected.

Looking for this week, but also working on additional firmware changes that may hold that up. Hang in there!

I am having the same problem with a 2019 Civic touring.

The Civic is not the same, as there's no CAN gateway like the Accord. It should start up when the key is on.

Ok how do I troubleshoot, because it doesn't come on unless I unplug and replug.

Is there a setting I'm missing?

There is no setting for this. The unit wakes up on CAN activity.
