No, I'm not hopeful either, but the fact that the current is NOT coming from the ignition wire gives me at least a glimmer of hope that it's a "soft" issue rather than a hardware design problem**. But what are the chances that they're firmware upgradeable via CD? Not good I suspectNever heard of that before, even if they do the CDs it isn't going to alter the components which make up the circuit board. I thought you said you had returned the unit anyway??
And I did indeed return the first unit but (see my update post, first message from last Saturday) bought another on the strength of the assurances that #1 must have been duff...
[**] To clarify what I mean - the unit is capable of drawing more or less zero current from the permanent cable when the ignition wire is low; it draws 140mA from the permanent cable when the ignition wire is high (but still almost nothing from the ignition wire).
Yeah, it might come to that. I'll see what LG come back with and then decide whether or not to be lazy and abandon it

Sadly yes, I already tried that in the hope that it might help. No dice...
