Default Range disconnect

Is there a device available which will automatically disconnect the Range when the ignition is turned off and automatically connect it when the ignition is on??

The Range v8.6R1 turns off when the ignition is turned off and turns on when the ignition is turned on. There is no need for a disconnecter.

However, I built this before the Range did that. I still use this device with the new range.

And I'm happy they did. OP, I used a switched OBD cord before I had mine updated to the 8.6 version.
