 Like it?  I *detest* car radios that shut off when you turn off the ignition.  
 I sometimes *like* the music that is playing when I arrive home, and 
 occasionally stay in my car listening until the end of the song, or a better 
 place to cut the music off than when I happened to arrive.  I don't want to 
 leave my car running to avoid turning off something that I'm listening to. 
 (Switching to the accessory position turns it off first.)  I also sometimes 
 listen to the radio while I work on the car.  I think the accessory position 
 of the ignition is a stupid PIA.
 
 I suggest you get used to turning off your radio before you wire it so that it 
 sucks (IMHO).  (Unless you listen so quietly that you can actually get out of 
 your car without noticing that it is on, and you drain your batter.  I 
 remember my older brother getting in trouble about that in our '55 Chevy.  
 He'd turn it down low while necking on a date, come home and leave it on, and 
 that tube radio would have it dead by morning.)
