Not sure if this is an issue or just incorrect usage of the product but...
When the Trinity is plugged into the ODBII port, the dash cluster never goes to sleep. It's always lit with "Press brake pedal and push button to start" even when the key is nowhere around.
Unplugged the Trinity, and the next time I checked on the car, the dash was off.
I was hoping to have the Trinity somewhat semi-mounted with a nice hidden routed cable to the OBD2 port, but if I need to unplug and plug it in every time I want to use it, this is OK too.

I was told on another forum that the 2011 OBDII port was different from other years? Not sure if true or even helps, but it was mentioned.
This is an issue with the 2011 OBD II ports I had this issue with the Aeroforce gauges that I have. Because they plug directly into the OBD II port. The guages kept trying to read information from the port because the power from the port is always on, the gauges keeping the computers cycling all night.

The OBD-2 ports are always on. Its like that for all vehicles. Its not a switched 12V.

I figured. The Trinity would have an issue when it said "Turn car off" during tuning, if it were a switched 12V.
I'm using the 1r09c dcx gas CROM that I downloaded yesterday and still have the issue. I went to the download site today, to see if there are any newer versions available, plugged in my serial and it looks like even the 1r09c isn't available? However 1r09b is available with an update date of today...
Is it safe to assume the newest version is the latest date regardless of the letter at the end of the revision# ?
