IBUS App / Android HU Battery Drain?
Hi,
I’ve had my XTRONS android HU with the IBUS app for a few months now but haven’t driven the car that much. Walked out to grab something a few days ago but the car was dead. The battery showed 9v when I started charging it. I assumed it was just because of the car sitting but it died again 2 days later. I went into the cluster test menu and test 9 showed a slightly different battery voltage than my HU so not sure what’s going on there. Anyway I went into the IBUS app and just reset my configuration to factory. Before unlocking the car I noticed the little park indicator was still on- I think I read on another thread that it means the car didn’t go into “sleep” mode? I had comfortblink, euro parking lights (only angel eyes), and angel eye DRLs enabled. IIRC that’s it. So far after the reset the battery has been fine. Any ideas?
Also one more thing to note: Once I put the car into second position just for a few seconds to roll up the windows or something and then pulled the key back out. The IBUS app was mid-startup so it displayed a message on the cluster. I locked the car but the message stayed, so o overwrote it by turning the lights on and off. I wonder if somehow the IBUS app was keeping the system awake?
Thanks
