Thats the way alot of them work these days. You cant use the radio unless the key is in the ignition
I wouldnt say theres anything wrong providing it doesnt forget its settings.

You need to swap the red and yellow wires. The ISO harness it came with should allow you to do this.

OK cool. Did look online but some said they blew the ignition so avoided doing this.
How do I release the wires from the harness as they are clipped right in

Have you got a picture of the loom it came with?
It should have switchable connections for the red and yellow wires.
