Quick question. I have this system installed and it works great running off the power port (cigarette lighter)...so in an effort to do a more permanent installation, I wired in a hidden additional power port (after market cig lighter) and tucked it nicely in the interior fuse panel area.
Somehow this has changed the behavior of the Monitor in that it now always stays 'On' instead of turning off when not in 'R'. Previously, everything worked as expected using the factory cig ports. What's special about the cigarette port power?
Currently I used one of the ATM add a fuse and plugged it into the radio fuse spot...do I really have to wire all the way out to the cigarette fuse in the engine bay? TIA!
