you would have to run your own switched wire to get the deck to stay on while cranking. There are actually two types of ignition wires. A general ignition wire is defined as a wire that has no power with the key off and 12v with it on. A TRUE ignition will do that, and also has power WHILE its cranking where a regular ignition may not have power while cranking. The stock ignition wire it not a true ignition, has now power while cranking.
