I really like it. I have had no issues. There is a way to change the frequency on it so other devices don't interfere. I have it all default, minus my password.
Are you referring to the yellow ignition wire? I don't know how much it would draw staying on. You can try it out and see. Best bet would be adding a @Genesis Offroad duel battery system. Then you wont ever drain your starter battery. I plan to eventually add that myself.
The switch needs to be hard wired for the back lights to work. You wont need the batteries either if it is hard wired. I have mine hooked up so that the switches and back lights only come on when the jeep is on. If you did hard wire it and its not working, I would check your connections and make sure you have voltage when the jeep is on.
Looks like I have a bad remote. I'm getting power to the mount. I've checked it with a test light. And the remote works fine with the batteries in
Oh man that sucks. At least you got it figured out. They should be able to get you a replacement.
