With the mirror tap, it takes a few minutes for the car to power down the accessories and "sleep" after you park. Approaching the car with my keys wakes it up, so to check I need to approach without my keys to verify it has powered down. If you verify it is powered down, then I might say correlation is not causation here. That is, the issue may be caused by something other than the detector install.

If you unplug the detector, do you get the same message?
Verified it is staying on. Walked outside past the car last night with no keys after about 2-3 hours of being home and it was still on.

Going to have to power it off or unplug every time I get out the car from now on I guess. The R3 has a battery saver setting but I believe it kicks in after an hour if you enable the setting
