'Radio On' signal line in Focus?

If you want to be able to use your sirius tuner without having to have the key on, why dont you just hook both wires up to a constant power source, instead of one constant and one switched. This way your sirius tuner will be able to work whenever you want it to, assuming that your radio is on, and you wont have the annoying key in chime the you are currently getting. The only drawback to this setup is that you will have to remember to manually turn off the sirius tuner or you will risk draining your battery

Do you have a factory amp? ____________________

No, it is an aftermarket amp.

Anyone else want to weigh in on this?
