Well, that's a problem, too! When car is turned off, the radio gets power. When you turn on the radio, it will say that in 1hr it will shut down. And i think the timer is in the radio. So probably it's best to use license plate fuse, since it is 100% sure on only when car is on.

What I meant was that in some cars there are spare fuse sockets with power on one side (usually the top half) that are for optional accessories, and dont have a bottom half to anywhere.
What I have done is buy fuses that have a wire soldered to them and just push them into one of them. I meter them so I know which is permanent and which is IGN switched.
I have a Power Magic to allow parking mode so need both. . With the type I use they just fit in neatly and dont stick up above the others.
Dont know if you can buy them in other countries but should be on Ebay.
Here is what they are
