In most cars that I know of, though, the ACC line (to which the empeg is connected in most cases) is wired so that it goes to 0V when you start the engine (to relief the battery from the additional load of all the accessories), so that the empeg just goes off and comes back on again, without showing the battery sign. That's why most empeg users never see it, I guess. Our cars seem to be wired differently. Mine at least is - it's ignition switch doesn't have an ACC position...

Good point, sounds reasonable. My car is a 1990 Volvo, so I can imagine it's missing some of the latest tweaks that may be standard with current cars.

Thanks,
