Should be the latest firmware d... Insert microSD card and power on to check the functions.

Nothing much after setting up unless you want to self-install which very quick. Less than 30 minutes can install.

I believe most cars' cigarette socket is unpowered already when you turn off the switch. If it is not, then, yes, remove the power socket.

The easiest way to check is to test with your car phone charger. Charge your phone when car is swithed on. Then, turn off the switch and see whether you phone is still getting charged or not.

As for me, I just leave the power socket on all the time coz it is unpowered when I turn off my car.

I think most car accessories don't have power after you off your engine. Only certain conti car will still power that socket for another 10-15 minutes if not mistaken.
