  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Does the USB port power down when engine is turned off?

I am a ham radio operator and have a hotspot permanently attached via the USB port. I assumed it would power off when the engine is turned off, but it looks like my hotspot is not shutting down. Does anyone know if the usb turns off with no engine power? Or is there a setting I can enable to have it power down?

USB turns off when reserve accessory power turns off. That usually happens 2-10 minutes later.

Thank you for the response. Is this the case for all Hyundai/Genesis? Source to confirm the info?

Interesting. When I unlock the door in the morning and enter the car, the USB appears to be powering my device. Cound the process of unlocking the car and opening the door be turning it back un?

Yes, whenever you open a door or press the remote, the RAP system starts up the radio and by extension the USB port. If you have a Bluetooth phone, you may notice it switches to the car before the car is even turned on.

That explains it! Thanks.
