I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this:
I was running my carputer when I decided to stop for gas. I did not shut down the PC as it was directly connected to the battery, and I could keep it running. I exited the car and tried to lock and set the alarm while going inside to pay. No matter which buttons I pushed, nothing worked. I hurried back inside and turned the pc off, then everything went back to normal. I could lock the doors and set the alarm with no problems. I ran the experiment again, making sure that the only connection was to the battery and nothing else, the same thing happened again untill I shut down the PC.
Is there some mechanism that will keep you from using your fob to lock and set your alarm if there is current draw from the battery? Has anyone else with aftermarket stuff experienced this? I double checked and the only thing connecting the pc to the car is the wire than runs to the battery. Everything else is powered off the PC, including the monitor. :8:
