I had done it this way, but could not listen to the radio with the key on or
risk damage to the coil (since vanagons have no acc position)...Was going to
wire it to second battery but have not had the time.......

Fellow vananuts    ;

My radio power operates when the ignition is on but I want to change it to
operate with the ignition off.
I know what and how to do it but just wondered if anyone has any precautions
or suggestions etc.etc.
