No this will not keep it on all the time, but it will hold your presets. That's what it's for. Just the yellow one though, not the red.

That is exactly how I tried it the first time and the head unit would not come on at all. Here was how I wired it the first time: (When the HU would not come on)
Stereo wires----------------------------Car wires
Red Ignition wire-----------------------Ignition wire
Yellow battery wire---------------------Battery Wire
Power Antennna wire (REM ANT)------Nothing (no power ant on 5th gen)
Antenna----------------------------------Antenna
Speaker wires---------------------------To corresponding speaker wires
With this setup the HU would not turn on at all. So I think my cars battery wire is messed up or something. So the way I made it work was;
Red Ignition wire----------------------Ignition wire
Yellow battery wire--------------------Ignition wire
Everything else the same as above.
This way it works but it won't keep my memory since that battery car wire isn't plugged in. My question is if I run a wire from the car battery with a fuse and plug it in to the Yellow battery wire of the stereo will My HU still shut off when I remove the key. I don't want to be able to turn the HU on without the key being in ACC or the car on. I don't want to get out of my car and have the battery drained because the HU stayed on.
Thanks for the help.
