Can i leave NANOCOM plugged in when i stop.

I have had a play with settings to get the instrument screen on start up. I was under the impression when it started it would go straight to the screen. I find that it starts at the menu and i have to select vehicle type, engine type and eventually i get there. If i switch off the ignition the screen goes black and i have to unplug the cable and plug it back in to get it to boot again. is this normal. When it was on normal boot up, and i stopped i would get cant communicate with ecu message and i had to scroll back for it to reboot without unplugging. Am i missing something ? and help appreciated ( have the manual but it does not appear to cover this. I see the correct methord of connection is cable to NANOCOM and plug into obd socket, this seems to be a pain to do each time you start,hop in the car to drive. Baz

Silly question?
But did you save the instrument mode setting?
If you did, and it worked, then you still have to manually touch the screen next time you hop in the car, but it should then go straight to instrument mode display.
There is a mod that starts the nanocom when you turn on the ignition, but I haven't got around to setting it up yet. My evo stays in the car full time set for instrument mode.
Cheers

Correct - usually takes a couple of seconds before the screen activates, and as per general instructions, only requires a lightish touch. Enjoy!
