Yes, you can leave it plugged in, but it depends on the period. FIXD doesn’t drain your battery power especially after the communication with the FIXD app is cut off. However, if your car is sitting idle for more than two weeks, then it’s better to unplug the sensor to preserve your battery life.

You can change these preferences through the settings menu of the FIXD App. The Services include features that use location data, including GPS signals, Wi-Fi access points, and cell tower IDs.
