Installed a D3 the other day, tested everything after intitial wiring - worked fine. Left town three days and came back to a dead battery (brand new battery too). I'm wondering...the stock Becker would always play just using the power button, which means there was juice available all the time and not connected to the ignition switch. Might be the AVIC, given a chance, would pull down the battery if juice is always available? I know several of you have installed one, so did you have to recircuit so the power is hot with key on only?
