I'm considering installing a BCD396T in my car with a 12V power supply and no batteries.
If the 12V is plugged into the scanner, and once I plug in the 12V into the car, does the scanner automatically turn on, or do I have to hit the power button each time? (providing there is already power to the 12V plug and all the other variables are taken care of)
Will the scanner remember to turn on the next time it's switched off and back on?

Edit ( added ):
While we're on this topic, what is the correct RadioShack 12V plug setup that I need to purchase for this? Looking at the scanner, it says 6V and 800mA.

You will have to press the power button each time.

I believe it requires a "B" plug, but I'll let someone else answer that one.
