That's why my V1 stays on and chirps itself silly up until I open up the door. Or 
until 15 sec time delay expires and the live wire goes to sleep. Whichever comes 
first.
A minor nuisance in comparison to having it hooked up to a sig lighter plug via an 
ugly coiled cord.
Not to mention it's 99% invisibile when mounted in the top position and wired to the 
sunroof console.
