Ok so I wired the power to my radio incorrectly....
There is a 12v drain on my battery which has been located to my radio. Currently I have that fuse (#4) pulled so I don't run out of juice, anyways, does anyone have the correct wiring diagram for how this should be done?
It works fine, but I think I just tapped into a live wire which is on all the time, so when i turn the radio off, it's still draining power. Any help is appreciated.

You probably have the ignition wire and the constant power wire crossed. Ignition wire turns the radio on when the car starts, the constant power wire has constant power to it so you dont loose you radio station memory. My advice by a test light. It took me three hours to install mine, didnt know how to read german, so I just taught myself what each wire does.
