My car is negative ground and I've installed a nav/mp3 player which gets it's power from the car.
Is it ok to have the key on, car not running, so as to power the unit. Sometimes I'll set up the nav or listen to music without the car running.
Not concerned with draining the battery, more concerned about the Petronix unit. Will it do it any harm to the Petronix?
