Just an FYI about the new gen radios...they can be operated without the ignition being on...and should turn off after a specified time limit...usually within the 15-17 minute time interval when the BUS goes into SLEEP mode...which only occurs after no calls being made on the P-bus after removing the key from the ignition:

TIP about KL R:
KL R = ignition position 1
KL 15 = ignition psotion 2
KL 50 = ignition start position
KL 30 = position ignition returns to after starting vehicle
