Hi,

Does anybody know how I could set up something electronic in my car without the starter pulling current from it? Its ruining all of my electronics. I have a gps device that stays on while the car is turned off but every time I restart the car it shuts the gps off. please help!!!!!

Is the GPS plugged into the cigarette lighter?

Please describe your issue a little more fully. What do you mean by "pulling current away" and how are you measuring this? What's the vehicle? Is the GPS on all the time?

I would kill to have one of those jewels. There is a very simple fix for your GPS, I just need to know a little bit about how you are powering the unit. Also, do you think you may just have a weak battery?

I do have a solution for your situation, I just need a few questions answered.
