Move radio on/off from ignition to toggle switch
I have seen discussions before, but can I move the on/off radio control from the ignition switch to one of the auxiliary toggle switches on my 2018 Craz? If I am using Bluetooth, every time we turn off the engine, my phone loses contact with the radio, and I have to hit play again on the phone, even if I quickly move the ignition key from on to accessory setting. Seems once ignition goes to off, radio & phone have to reset, which is maddening if trying to drive and make the radio work at the same time!!!!
Thought I'd seen a comment about this might damage the radio unit if its connected to a switch as opposed to the ignition. My 2013 LSV had the radio on a switch, loved that feature.ADM

I have a '16 Craz and did exactly that w/my Fusion HU. No issues whatsoever.
Not sure why they wire it to the key in the first place.2016 Craz

I installed a SPDT switch just under the dash with switched power on one end and continuous power on the other so I could keep the depth finder and stereo running with the engine off and switch back to switched power when pulling the boat out. I boated on a river where the depths can vary when floating along.

I ran the turn on straight to the battery with the main power and just use the on off button on the head unit itself.

Yeah, and typically if I ever am leaving the boat does significant amount of time I turn the batteries off anyways so draining the battery due to leaving it on is never really a concern to me.
