[s-cars] Where's the ignition lead?

[Mark Strangways]

Really it depends on your head unit. Most if not all have either a power ant
lead or a remote start lead for the amp, or both.
So head units will turn off the power antenna if the radio is off, but the
radio should then have the remote amp lead.
U should use these leads as it will turn the amp off if the head unit is
turned off . Useful if you want to have a quiet conversation.
Audis are nasty for ignition whine so some amps will whine thru the speakers
if the volume is turned down.
