Wow, what a journey.

So based on this, it would not be a good idea for me to install my BlackVue Dash cam with Magic Pro box? Normally dashcams only run when the car is on, but the Magic Pro box allows the camera to run while parked as it will monitor your voltage and allow the camera to run the battery down to a preset level (eg 11.5v) and then turn off so that you still have enough power to start the vehicle.

Based on your findings I'm guessing that if the dashcam stayed running while parked, that it would stop the car sleeping. Is that right?
