Roger,
        My 91 Multivan came from the dealer with the Heidelberg wired keyless (I am
my own DPO). It still works just fine and I have had no electrical problems.

     Subject: 'Keyless' stereo operation

     I'm curious if there are any significant drawbacks to hotwiring my new
     stereo so I can have it on without the key in the On position. I've
     perused the archives and it appears that some folks have the stereo hot
     all the time & others wire in a manual switch. I'm about to replace my
     current aftermarket stereo with a new one and am planning to wire it so
     it's hot all the time. Any reason NOT to do it this way?

     Thanks,
     -Roger
