I've had no problem so far, but I've only left the car for 2 days max w/o turning it on.

Googling around, there are some mini OBD2 bluetooth adapters out there with power buttons. Here's one:

Not an F22, but I leave a cheap BT dongle plugged into my Range Rover all the time. It does not make a measureable difference in current draw with my digital meter that reads in 10th of an amp. I've left the truck sitting for weeks at a time with no issues.
