Okay. It's like this. I recently got a Kenwood sound system (HD radio, CD, Pandora, Bluetooth). It's real nice. I got the wire harness connector to avoid cutting off the original harness connector. Well, what's odd is, the new radio does not turn off when I take the key out. I have to either power off the radio itself, or take out the faceplate (which is the design). I'm sure there is still voltage going in even though the radio is totally off.
I found two wires relate to the positive. One is the solid red and the other is red with a thin black stripe. Using a meter, and with key out, there is voltage present in both wires. There is no voltage in the 12V receptical (key out). That's odd. The original factory radio does switch off after taking the key out. So, does anyone know the exact radio circuitry for power supply? The new radio really works on all four speakers (wired exactly). I just don't understand the ignition switch that won't power off the radio.
