What I would like is to use ignition as power on/off. In most cars behind the head unit there is a battery constant (yellow) and an ignition wire (red). Want to prevent the pine64 to drain the car battery when the ignition is not on (and don't want to be forced to use an external physical button).
So ideally I would wire up the pine64 directly with the car battery (yellow) (with a 12v to 5v converter) so it wont just shut down when you turn off ignition and internal clock wont reset. Then somehow use the ignition wire (red) to power on/off the device, anyone have suggestions on how to do this?
