A couple questions about my new Scosche GM09SR module

A couple questions about my new Scosche GM09SR module

So my old (1 year) GM2000 module from Scosche burned up last month,
They were nice enough to replace it with their new and improved GM09SR
module for free.

Installed it this morning and have noticed a couple things. The LED in
the unit blinks even when the car's turned off, and if you hold the
unit to your ear, there is a slight hissing noise.

I'm pretty sure everything's wired correctly and that my connections
are tight. I made sure to do a good job soldering and heat shrinking
the Scosche unit's wiring harness to the one for my stereo.

Anyway, just wanted to check in here with you smart people before I go
bolting everything back in only to find there's a problem!

The LED in the GM09SR is blinking when it is reading messages on your
vehicle's Bus network (like a computer network). This happens for a
while even when you car is turned off. The module will continue to
operate for a up to 10 minutes and then go into a "sleep" mode where
you should not see the LED blinking or hear the hiss. This is normal
operation for the device. Thanks for posting
