The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 does get power constantly, but to keep from draining the battery in your vehicle it has a sleep mode which it goes into after 15 minutes of it not detecting any movement.

The reason for this is if it got completely unplugged it would lose the stored settings, and you would need to readjust the controller every time you needed to tow your trailer.

I included a video of the # 90195 for you to take a look at.
