Oh, and FYI for potential G1W owners, the battery in this camera is worthless. I have mine plugged in via the AC adapter in the arm-rest console, and it only lasts for about 10 seconds after the car is shut off.

The G1W-C will obviously not run on battery, but if you do decide to plug it into the AC (not hard-wired), it will turn off after 3 seconds once you turn the car off. The hard-wire solution should keep it running afterwards if you have motion detect on or whatever the setting is.

Not sure about the power draw when the car is off...I'd like to know that too

It can take other firmware!
