Slower communication when car is off

I noticed during testing with my UART V1 OBD adapter that when the car is on (not necessarily the engine, but key is turned to on) that my device polls the OBD quite fast. The red light on the adapter blinks constantly. However, when the car is off, the red light on the adapter will blink about once...

I purchased an OBD-A back in September and just now got to using it. I developed my particular project initially without the OBD as there was a lot to do beyond just getting the speed and in the end, that should have only been a few lines of code. But once I tried, it just hung up on obd.init(). To ...
