    Do you guys leave the MPVI2 plugged into the OBDII port all the time??

    Does it get hot? Does it drain the battery? Keep modules awake?

    What about the cigarette lighter charger for the wideband? (AEM/The Tuning School)

    I dread plugging and unplugging them all the time but to be safe I am doing it right now until I find out what's best.

    ...Anyways I have to switch to MPVI1 for flashing every time right now because customer/tech support is working on my issue still

    The MPVI2 is not designed to be plugged in all the time. It will drain the car battery.
