Will it power on automatically when charging? If used in the car, will it power on when I turn on the ignition and automatically pair with my phone?

No, it won't power on when the car turns on. You have to hit the power button each time. It does automatically pair with my Iphone once on though. Also, it will stay on for awhile with the battery so if you run into a store and come back to the car, you wouldn't need to hit the power button again. Hope that helps.

Yes, exactly so. Which means, when you get into the car and turn on the ignition, it automatically makes the bluetooth connection for handsfree (as long as your stereo input is on AUX.)

Yes. It automatically turns on once plugged in, but can be shut off while charging.

Yes the lights will be on while charging. If the phone is in the case it will charge the phone first then the case. If you power the case off while charging, it will not charge the phone. I hope I was able to help you.

You need to turn it on with the switch. Once you do that it will connect to the last bluetooth device it was connected to. In case if you leave it on and it goes in standby sometimes you need to press the switch on the front side. So far I was able to connect it automatically although I used it for home purpose and not in car.

I always keep the switch off at all times and when charging. I only turn it on when needed to jump start the car.

Yes, it will power the connected USB device while it is on charging. However, please don't forget to press the power button to start it.

As like anything else that doesn't have an auto shut-off, Yes, it will continue to use Power while charging at the same time!Always remember to turn it off!It will still charge, but, it'll take quite a bit longer with it on than off!I hope this clears things up for you.

It turns on and starts recording as soon as it gets power from the 12 volt lighter ax adapter that plugs into the car. On some vehicles your plug stays on all the time and on others it doesn't. If the plug goes hot when you start your car then it's completely automatic. I never touch my camera after I got it set up the first time and it's working well.

The device will be in "ready" mode as long as the power button is turned on. The logo on top will flash slowly while in this mode. Once you have paired the first time your phone should auto connect while in range as long as your Bluetooth is turned on. Anytime you are connected to the device the logo will be solid blue.

Hi Michael, I have it with the nexus 4 and the dock only charges the phone. No car mode is automatically detected. Regards, Albert

You have to pair it everytime. But you just have to hold the button on the unit and your phone should connect automatically after the initial pairing. The charging port is pretty flimsy on these. I have had mine for a few days and it stopped charging. It turns out that the charging dislodged from the logic board so I just hardwired the USB cable that came with it.

If it is in a "constant" power source you can use the on/off button and it will not byes power. If you plug it in an ignition controlled outlet it will turn off when you turn your car off. Either way it will pair up when you are within 20 or 30 feet of your car and play the last song it played when you turned your car off.

Yes, turns on when you power up. I have not figured out how to manually turn it on yet.

You have to manually turn the switch on. Otherwise it will just be charging and not on

I have two of these. The one I use in the car will connect automatically as it powers off with the ignition key. The one I use in the house is plugged into a wall outlet to usb power supply and I need to unplug/plug in the usb with each use to work. :(
