Was just the 'red' light on when you measured it? Did you have everything else off, including BT on your phone? Because I've left mine plugged in for over a month (drive the car every day), and the 12V hasn't lost even one tenth of a volt. Mine is the Vgate from Simvalley, $18 from Amazon and is easily opened with four screws for modifications. I believe when just the Power light is on, it uses around 40mA or less.
