    I run PriiDash daily so I always turn the car IG-ON first, not READY. Recently the MFD started to show some warnings on the screen during IG-ON after the car sat in the garage over the weekend. Eventually it became every morning, but the car still started fine. I think this (IG-ON first) is a good way to get an early warning sign of a dying 12 V battery. More details here:
