2016 Moomba Mondo with the stock stereo:

I hate how the stereo drops its bluetooth connection everytime I switch between the engine running and aux. It's even worse when going from aux to starting the boat.

Has anyone bypassed the ignition and wired through an open switch instead?
I want to control the power for the stereo without using the key, but turn it off with one of the switches so as not to leave the stereo on by accident and drain the battery overnight.

If you've done it, how difficult was it to do?

Its actually really simple if there is an unused ACC switch. Does the helm not have a stereo rocker any more in 2016? The hole stereo powers down then back up when going from RUN to ACC with the key?

My 14 is wired through the stereo rocker switch. Doesn't matter what position ignition switch is in. Starting and turning off motor does not effect stereo at all. That would be a pain.

My 2013 is also tied to the stereo switch and I love that!!

Same, if key is off, radio is off, but crank, run and acc it stays on.

No, it definitely runs through the ignition now.

Got mine wired to the open ACC switch this week. Was a really easy mod. The wires from the ACC switch already had connectors on them. Funny thing was I had to wire the ACC power swith to both battery power and ignition power for the radio. I initially just wired to the ignition power but that did not work as the main radio power must have been on ignition power as well. I also put an inline fuse in. I would think this would be a must as it can't be great for the stereo to cycle on and off a bunch of times during a long day.
