Satellite Radio Reciever
Satellite Radio Reciever I have a Sirius Satellite radio tuner hardwired in my car. Its spliced into the ciggy lighter so it has constant power 24/7. So I have to manually turn it on and remember to turn it off when I leave the car. I want to wire it into the accy so itll turn off when everything else does.
My question is, does anyone actually know if it matters at all if the reciever loses power without being actually turned off first? Think itll damage the unit over time?

i install on average 1 satellite unit a DAY and i always splice into accessory power, either behind the radio, or in the ignition harness... so if doing that damages the unit, it would be news to me... and tons of other installers. so no, hardwiring to accessory would be much to your benefit, instead of having to remember to turn the thing off every time you get out of the car.
