(not a problem though).all cool though i beleive now, when i turn my car off the stereo now turns of without me manually having to turn it off when i leave the car.it even said in the manual that if the ACC wire isn't connected to the ignition wire that it will drain the battery even when the stereo is off. so basically my batt drain was becasue i had the ACC conected to a constant hot.im going to check her tomorrow to make sure that she doesnt drop anymore than the 12.40v that she dropped to over night.....</blockquote>
