Radio cuts out when starting engine or switching ignition from on to accessory

[funbobby]

Anyone fixed this issue? It's quite annoying; the radio reboots and pauses the bluetooth.

New ignition switch? Off-Accessory-Ignition-Start instead of Accessory-Off-Ignition-Start?
Wire radio for constant power instead of through the ignition and put an accessory switch on the dash?

I just do one key at a time. Keep one on accessory until the other engine is started. Got tired of that the first day

Or in his case stick to a direct connect with a switch, be a lot cheaper then upgrading to a twin engine . Lol

Oops. Small oversight there

Out of curiosity, How do you know he has a single engine?

I remember when he posted about buying the boat . He has the same boat as I , but orange . You can also check a members profile info for boat info , in case they don't mention model in a post .

And no pause or mute on the remote commanders?! Un-f'ing-believable.

Fixed the power issue by snipping the red accessory wire at the intermediate connector behind the radio - nothing exploded so I guess I chose wisely - and then connected that to the +12V from the powerpoint right next door. Radio always has power when the main battery switch is on. It stays powered for a short time after turning the battery off but don't be fooled, there must be a capacitor in the system that it has to drain down.
