Anyone using an OBDII reader/Torque Pro on their R3???

[DEcosse]

Others have told me it doesn't suck juice after the ign is shut down???.

I see - so you'd rather believe others?

As I explained to you previously there is CONSTANT power to the diagnostic connector.
Some devices (like my VGate Bluetooth OBDII) have auto power shut-off - I do not believe the AutoRoute has this.

Try Google - lots of stories of cars parked at airports (etc) with drivers returning to find dead battery after a week - and that is with a CAR battery!

WOAH there, ken!
Twas merely a comment and I did state it was going to see use on my car.

I'm just fkucking with you bull
(See the stick out tongue?)

The rest of it was genuine - i had researched Google back when you first killed your battery & found similar stories from car users
You could also just pull the fuse and connect ammeter between the socket & see how much (if any) current it pulls

My BAFX ODB2 drains the battery as well.

TheWhingnut is correct!!! The BAFX will drain the battery. Don't ask how I know!!!
