Ok, guys...is any one else seeing this? Since Dynavin relies on the cars "sleep mode" to turn itself off, the battery drains really fast when I'm working on the car. I was fixing my side view mirrors while the keys were off the ignition, and the frequent closing and opening the doors quickly drained the battery since Dynavin would wake up and stay up till sleep kicks in even though it looks like it's off (no display). Do this 3-4 times in an hour or two and you get a drained battery. This never used to happen till I installed the Dynavin. Not a biggie for me since I have a battery charger on hand that will fast charge in a few minutes to start the car.

Yes the downside to the nifty feature where the Dynavin boots up when a door is opened/unlocked is......well the unit boots when a door is opened/unlocked! So yeah it has the potential to run down the battery if you are working on the car and keep waking it up. Less so now since Dynavin reduced the standby time in the latest firmware. But yes, if you are going to be working with the doors open for an extended period of time a battery charger is a good idea (or disconnect the battery).

That would be super annoying while detailing.
