The camera has motion detection mode, so it can be set to turn on any time it detects motion, and the threshold for the trigger is variable. I do not think power consumption is low enough to keep the ccd or whatever detector on continuously. On May 9, 2016 4:46 AM, "Mitch Haley via Mercedes"

Everyone told me soldering wires in a car was sacrilege! I have always soldered everything. You just want to make sure that vibration isn't flexing the joint. All of those wonderful large connectors in MB from the 'good years' are soldered, inside. -- Jim

Yea, Yea. These have joint restraint built in, so the soldered joint doesn't flex. I solder almost every joint. Never had a break in/at the joint since I got my first Weller soldering gun in 1964. On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 4:12 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Oh, you
