2006 Ford F-350 Diesel

Sorry for duplicating this post....I put it in car stereo also but realized this might be a better place.

Hi Everybody. 

I have a 2006 Ford F-350 Diesel with the factory stereo system and an aftermarket Sirius receiver installed.  The signal is transferred to the factory stereo with the built in FM modulator from the Satellite Receiver.  My issue is the Factory radio stays on even after turning ignition off, but the satellite receiver turns off.....since no local radio is broadcast on that frequency it blasts static or garbage sound until I open the door which turns the factory stereo off.  So my question is there a way to wire the 12 volt for the satellite radio to go on and off whenever the factory stereo goes on or off.   Circuity city says the radio is controlled by a 6 volt door trigger, and the radio has a constant 12 volts all the time.  According to them it is not possible to coordinate the 2 devices. 

If this is not possible as they say.....I would at least like to be able to run the satellite when I turn the ignition switch back to the ACC position.  As it is currently installed (by circuit city) the satellite only turns on when I turn the ignition all the way to the run position which is also powering the glow plugs and anything else powered when the engine is on.  Circuit City says that since the new vehicles are all computer controlled that it is hooked to an accessory fuse.....because the satellite shuts off when starting the vehicle.  I am guessing I could figure out the accessory issue by testing all the fuses until I find the correct one....but it would be really great if I could tie the satellite into the factory radio as stated above. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
