Guys if I don't do the hardwiring, just use USB. Then will it auto turn on and record when I start my car??

What are the disadvantages of not using hardwiring

Yes, it will auto turn on and record when you start your engine.

Not much advantage if you're not interested in the parking mode. Maybe you get back an accessory port when use hardwiring.

hardwire will be cleaner as the wires will be hidden behind the dash. you can also wire to radio or ciggie lighter only turns on when you switch on the car.

You can also hide the cable behind the dash and route to the ciggie lighter port.

Hardwire is direct fuse tap to the car fusebox for power to either turn on when the engine on or have power when the engine is off for parking mode.

If so, does it eat a lot of battery?? Maybe it will affect the life span of the car battery?
