Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / April 2006FM transmitter question?
I Just bought an fm transmitter and since i hate the stupid plug and all the wires i hard wired it to the car. first is this safe? also my power supply to the transmitter is always on even when the key is out. and the red LED on the transmitter is always on. My main question is, is it ok to leave it on all the time?, and will it drain my battery? i already did it to my sirius radio. My transmitter is a Monster brand one, i provided a link below for reference: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?parentPage=search&cp=&productId=2110 504&origkw=fm+transmitter&kw=fm+transmitter&tab=summary Thanks! Your cigrette lighter is not done good. It should power off of the key is removed. Connect it to the ACC wire. |I Just bought an fm transmitter and since i hate the stupid plug and | all the wires i hard wired it to the car. first is this safe? also my [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] | already did it to my sirius radio.

Some cars have their cigarette lighter on (hot) all the time.

My wife's '96 Grand Voyager has it on with IGN. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Half the cars out there leave the lighter energized all the time... most of the rest power it only with the key in IGNITION position, not ACCESSORY. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
