i think it all depends on the way u connect it... the tutorials online connect it in a way that switches off after the engine is turned on

as far as light and stuff are concerned it just need to be hooked upto a constand power supply from the batter like hooked upto something that always has a live feed even when ignition is off such as cd player or lights or interior lights i think
