Default Anyone installed thier own Auto Dimming mirror?

I got the factory auto-dimming mirror for Christmas, followed all the instructions to a T. It works fantastic - however -- are you supposed to have to manually turn the mirror off and on? I figured it would power up with the car, but it is constantly on. Anyone one else have this problem? I'm worried about forgetting to turn it off when I get to work at 330am, and killing my battery. Any help would be appreciated fella's.

Yeah, you tapped into the wrong wire. This tutorial might help you:

Thanks guys.. Tanatalizedmind - does yours turn on and off with the car? I was thinking if I tapped a diffrent wire and it lost power everytime I shut the car off I would have to reprogram the garage door opener every time, and it probably wont work unless the car is on.. Correct?
