Yes,  there are two wires coming off the new unit, one to go to Accessory
(for  power) and the other to battery (for memory) my problem is the Vanagon
does  not have an accessory wire at the radio  location.

Hi Ellen
I hook mine to what VW calls " X "  power.
This is powered up the minute you put your key in (with out turning  it).
This allows me to sit with the vehicle off and the radio on until I take  the
key and leave.
I usually take out the factory chime relay and use that spot as a " tap "
for this   X  power.
