Command Still available when car's shutoff & security sys armed
Guys, is this normal ? My Command can turn on even after an hour or so of car shutoff & 'armed' ... Is this a norm or maybe this is drawing more current causing low battery over a month or so...

It is normal. But after a period of time of being on, the COMAND will initiate a shut down sequence (with a pop-up screen). Notifying you that the shut down will occur, unless the key is placed in the ignition. I believe it is a system that MB put in place, to avoid the battery from being drained.
