The reason they want it on the accesories line is so it will not drain your battery (dead) when you are not driving the car.
Even the little light in your glove compartment will drain your car battery completely if it gets left on long enough - if you park the car for several days (dont ask! :^)

well yes and no. the radio stays on even if i pull the key out until i open the door.
actually i think i got it. plugged around with a voltmeter in the fuse box and found a fuse labeled "gauges" is only live when the key is "on". thanks to whoever said that. except i was working on the car in the dark garage with the domelight on as my worklight.... guess what. it drained my battery lol. so i had to waste valuable time jumping it. which is why im still awake. just finished some hw a few min ago. well thanks. i think i got it working. now will it work for a long time? lol. need to go find a torx driver tho. cant get my plastic steering column cover off.... so its ziptied on now
