My brother has this problem with his: the faceplate on his stereo has a
significant draw (electro luminescent, not LED/LCD), and whoever installed
it didn�t use the �two 12v leads, one of which is switched with the key�
option that most stereos permit. So, what he has to do is remember to
remove the face of the stereo every time he gets out of the van. My van is
wired so the stereo is switched with the key (but gets power from the
system when the key is off to hold the station memory and clock), and so I
don�t have this problem.
