    Yes, I forget to disconnect mine all the time too. The new Kiwi2 adaptor has a low power mode to stop this from happening. I am thinking about putting a switch on the dash to turns the ODBII diagnostic port off, but I seem to remember there being two wires with 12v power on that socket, so it may not be dead simple.

    Hi

    I know some people have added a switch or a relay to only provide power when the ignition is on

    I do not know what kind of power drain these things have, but I can confirm that the car supplies the power to run them.
    There is a 5amp fuse in the fuse box for power to that socket.

    mate

    it's the fact that the ELM327 keeps waking up the BECM which eventually flattens the battery
