I was looking for any existing threads on the topic, but I can't seem to find any, and I'm a bit nervous.
I have this adapter and I was watching videos like this one and that one. The key step is making sure the car is completely off before unplugging the cable to insert the adapter, and I'm not sure whether it's really off. Otherwise, it's apparently possible to damage the car.
I sat in the back seat, pressed Power Off, and waited ten minutes, but I never did hear that relay noise. And when I opened a door, the car woke up quickly, perhaps too quickly.
I stuck my fob in a metal bag and set my phone to Airplane Mode, so I don't think I was keeping it awake with a key. Any clue what I'm doing wrong (if I'm doing anything wrong)?
I'm thinking maybe I should open both doors on the driver's side and not reach forward from the rear seat.
