Mike,

I've got an aftermarket Video interface to feed into my standard SatNav system.....at the moment it's fed on a permanent live because otherwise the mini logo no longer displays on the screen unless the unit has power.

My basic question is whether or not there is a 12v line that goes live as soon as you unlock the car on the remote fob and then stays live until you lock the car again?

I'm assuming the SatNav gets it's signal from the canbus to start but I'm not aware of an interface that will give me that capability?

What do you reckon?

Obviously, anyone else who may have an answer please feel free to pipe up as well!

Cheers,

Tom...
