[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6969771, member: 576029"] yea, annoying and not well known. installing a volt meter helped me notice it also. i strongly believe a volt meter is a required accessory when installing an aftermarket sound system. you are right, it won't do it in park, just in drive while crusing with low ignition load. but turning on accessories to keep the alt up defeats the purpose since you are stealing current from the alt to do it. the bypass i designed works perfect. it is a two-stage bypass that requires both the switch be on and the HU be on. so for low listening levels i can get the fuel mileage savings, or when the HU is off. i explain the system very well in my bypass thread.
