You're right of course.
When I bought my Vanagon the P.O. had butchered the wiring to the stereo so badly
I had to take it to a car stereo shop to get it sorted out.   That was when I
discovered the fact that there was no ACC position on the ignition.   The guy at
the shop wired the power line to a switched power source at my request because I
consider it a hassle to turn my stereo on every time I get in  and off every time
I get out.   I need a soundtrack for my existence so I'm seldom without music  if
it is an option.
