Starts up every time I start the engine, and shuts off as soon as I turn the car off and open the door to exit.
So for those of you who hardwire it, how do you control the muting function? I'm pressing mute quite a bit when driving locally due to false alarms, even with the GPS learning function. Do you just reach up to the windshield all the time?
I had mine hardwired in by the dealer. Nothing inside the car except a green/red light by the fuel gauge on the left and the display to the right where a non-Porsche car ignition would be located. No wires, very clean and easy to monitor/use.
So wait, lots of ppl have said the footwell outlet is where you should hook up a charger, but now ppl are saying its off after 30 mins. For a standard 991 (no smoking packagge) where do you connect the "factory" (for lack of a betetr term) "Porsche" charger to?
AFAIK both the footwell and console ones are switched, but somehow I have been able to use a charger on the footwell one without issue. However I do not leave the charger for more than a couple of hours so I cannot say if it will keep staying live.
I think there was some claim that the extra socket from the smoking package is unswitched.

u should look at Passport max it gives you minimal false alarms and after 3 passes it learns false alarms, stores gps locations and they dont pupup at all. u can also mute it the on the RD or on the plug
