9500ix on Switched 12v

**jkaero** · 03-08-2009, 12:17 PM

Im looking at a 9500ix and I would like to hardwire it to a switched power line (its actually already all wired from my old 6500). From the pics it looks like the 9500ix requires a button push to turn it on.

If Im connected to switched power will i need to push the button on the 9500ix every time I start the car or will it retain its on-state?

no it turns on when it has power and turns off when power is gone I never use my power button.

x2, and the ix also will turn itself off after 4hrs on not moving.

Ditto that previous hardwire reply.

It automatically turns back on when you restart your car, if it was on when you turned off the car.

No button push required.

A good design feature, and one I was concerned with also prior to my purchase.
