I'm not sure I understand what your concern is but i wanted to jump in as I'll be doing this same radio install on my '87 targa soon. Correct me if I'm wrong but do you want the radio to turn off when you turn off the ignition/car as if you were parking? Is your concern you might leave the radio on and drain the battery?
I have found that I enjoy the "hot" radio in my Audi as I can listen to the radio without having anything else on or key in. It has become habit to just turn everything off, HVAC, lights and radio before I turn off the car. Same goes for my targa.
Looking forward to your response.

I really don't have a problem with the radio being "hot". In many ways it is more convenient to have the radio on with the ignition out.
However, I decided to install the radio in the "normal" mode with the radio only coming on with the ignition on. So, since the radio is not performing that way, my concern is why?
I'm 99.999999% sure I have the plug wired correctly. However, one thing I have not checked (and will do tonight) is the connector. The connector I bought is aftermarket and I want to make sure there is not an internal jumper or something similar that is powering the "ignition" pin with the constant 12V line.
