You could run a fuse holder around ( parallel ) your battery cutoff switch.
That would allow enough power for the keep-alive memory in your stereo but
would blow if someone tried to steal the car. This would allow you to keep
your stereo key powered but not lose your presets or clock setting. Hope
this helps. Let me know.
