Default radio question

just installed the biketronics retro radio package with the sony gt 400 radio and hogtune speakers on my 2006 e/g standard. Installation took a couple of hours and was straightforward and easy. The radio looks great and sounds great also. The question I have is, other than hard wiring the power lead from the radio straight to the battery, is there anything I can do that will allow me to play the radio with the ignition switch in the off position. will the factory Harmon/Karmen radio play only with the ignition switch on? I think it would be nice to be able to listen to some tunes with the bike parked and the engine off.

I don't know about your '06 but my '04 EG Standard has an accessory position on the switch that allows the radio (also a Biketronics kit) to play.

thanks Nav,
went out in the garage to look at the bike after reading your reply and sure enough the ignition switch does have the accessory position.
that was a quick answer to my question, thanks again
