Its the ECU that turns the radio off so all you need to do is re - feed the radio with a permanent supply,if all else fails take it directly from the battery, via a small fuse of course.

Whith ignition off, press radio on button & you can listen to radio for much longer before it goes into eco mode than if you listen to radio with ingnition switched on with engine off.
