The DIAD shuts off after 30 seconds of inactivity. It is inserted in to a base; however, there are no wires connected to that base--it shuts off to save the battery. All of our communications with the DIAD are wireless. We can look at the DIAD while driving but doing anything more than that will show up as a "recording while driving".
The PowerPad also shuts down, but you can "wake it up" at anytime and nobody will know that you are using it while driving. UPS has the better idea with your DIAD policy.
