Hi Phil
The best way is always to connect directly to the battery. The only way
that you can connect it switchable is using a relay connected directly
to the battery and switched on when the engine is running That's how
most of the high current devices already work on your car, the fuel
pump, the headlights, air conditioning, heater fan, horn and more.

If this was a transceiver, I would agree with you. For an ordinary
"car radio", connect it up to the accessory fuse (if there isn't a
separate radio fuse which most passenger vehicles have nowadays) and
be done with it.

If it's a Citroen, all bets are off.... ggg
