They say "Nope", if the red does not go to ignition, then has to go to a toggle for the unti to have on and off control. But the unit has a power button on it?!?!?!
So, does this mean the Cd units power button will only turn it on? Wrote to fractory again, and they just repeated to put the red wire to a toggel switch.
Any body know of have experience? Does power button only turn unit on, and will not turn it off, thereby making a toggle or ignition switch set up to save the main battery?
