Subject:Wiring radio to accessory instead of battery?
From:Ellen in Oregon
Date:Sun, 25 Mar 2007 09:58:12 -0700

I looked in the archives and didn't really find what I was looking for
there.  In my '85 vanagon, the radio was connected directly to the battery
(so it is "on" all the time unless the radio was turned off).  I purchased
and installed a new radio and CD player, but apparently it is powered on
even when turned off, and this has caused my battery to go dead.  I'd be
interested in hearing how others have solved this dilemma.  Run a wire to
something that is only powered with the key is turned to the accessory?
What would that something be?

Thanks for any insights,

Ellen
