Auto on/off fuction

Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:48 am

Hi

I just received my 7" gps/reverse camera unit from china. It is running windows ce 6

Now my screen will turn on automatically when car is turn on. However it will not auto shut down when I turn off the car.

Is there a way to enable auto shutdown? Or is there a function in windows ce 6 where I can set it to go into sleep mode when car is turned off and gps left for few seconds?

Thanks allot

Is your wiring done correctly? That should be your first question.
About the WinCE6/device combination - when the wiring is correct - I think you better ask your seller. There are so many China devices and they can (and do) make changes to Windows.
However, Fatboyfun may have a different opinion.

Add or amend this sys.txt entry...

[interface]
shutdown_time=5

Where 5 is seconds before shutting down, 0 to disable.

Some devices do not support 3rd party app suspending.

Sounds like your stereo is wired into your constant, it needs to be wired into the ignition live :)
