I have, on multiple occasions now, found my Helix wifi adapter still up and running long after the car and other equipment has shut off. I haven't yet figured out the circumstances that cause this to happen yet (but it's always after loading a new tune and/or "messing" with some settings). Has anyone else had this happen?
So just a quick update on this. It happened to me again today (Helix wifi module stayed powered up and accepting connections even after the car was turned off (and my amps and the Helix DSP.3 itself was also powered off).
After it happened, I think I found what causes it. It seems that if you turn off your laptop (actually, put it into sleep mode by closing the lid) without exiting the Helix software first, then the Helix wifi module stays powered up and active - at least in some cases. I haven't tried recreating the issue yet, but I started the car, reconnected to the Helix wifi adapter with my laptop again and restarted the Helix sofrware - but this time, I exited the Helix software before closing my laptop (which is what I normally do). As soon as I did that and got out of my car and checked the Helix wifi module after doing this, the Helix wifi module shut down properly.
So it sure does *seem* that closing your laptop while the Helix software is still running and connected to the Helix wifi module, causes the Helix wifi module to stay "active" - even after the car is turned off and all other audio equipment shuts down normally. At least in some cases... I'll have to do a little more testing.
