I wouldn't leave it connected permanently, because it doesn't have any low-power sleep mode, however it uses hardly any power anyway.

Thanks!
I made it so that I will have a DB9 connector hanging off the cars CD changer cabling, plug that into one end of the board I made, plug DB9/Serial into other end. Easily removed and reinstalled.
Had all the parts avail at work, and made it during some breaks, was fun getting back into component level work, so used to replacing boards and calling it a day...
Now to find a laptop to install navcoder on and get to tinkering!
