    Is there a voltage difference on the 12v accessory wire when the truck is off vs when it is running? If so, maybe the code could be updated to look at the voltage and "press" the button when a certain voltage threshold is reached.

    Oh you mean amperage meter. Hows that going to find 12 volts?

    No difference between ACC and ignition on, both 12 volts.

    Why not try tapping one of the ECU-IG fuses? I wonder if one of them is the circuit wire #1 (12v ECU) runs on. Would definitely solve the problem; power to the mod box would be cut off at the same time as power to wire #1 (12v ECU). Is there a concern that these are not 12v? Would just need to get a 7.5A fuse in the correct size.

    ^ that's my thoughts.. I just haven't had time to dig into the truck and find a circuit that is only IGN switched

    Do you think there'd be a big risk in experimenting?

    No. As long as you use the add a fuse tap circuit. Although I wouldn't tap into anything air-bag,ECU,data,etc

    At 12v you're at about a 50% state of charge. It should be 13.x volts with the truck on and alternator running.

    Thanks. I was hoping someone else used acc mode and found an ign circuit. Like mesojdm I have not had time to dig into it.

    Got a 10A mini fuse and moved the add-a-tap over to the 10A WASHER slot. Can confirm that it works as expected and does not toggle ecu-box on/off while in ACC mode for >5 seconds.
