Simple. Turn the radio off when you leave the truck. I have a systematic way of exiting my truck:

Heated Seats Off.
Radio volume all the way down.
Radio Off.
AC/Heat Off.
Parking Lights on/headlights off (if at night).
Open door.
Turn parking lights off.
Close door.

do you also lock/unlock your front door exactly 17 times when you get inside and then wash your hands for 11 minutes?

Pics? Is this something you have done? Maybe puting in a switch or something on it. If that wire is cut, it won't affect the nav or anything right? I don't want to mess anything up.

No, but I do have hand sanitizer in the door pocket *******. :)
The NAV still comes on when the power is applied. So that won't work.
The NAV comes on, but it's just a map display. The GPS is not powered on until the truck is running. You specifically mentioned that your sub was playing music and that was how you figured this issue out -- so turn off the radio.

I guess what I am wondering, is... Is what are you trying to accomplish? Your screen from being on when you're not inside the truck? Big deal. Your battery not going dead? It won't, as it's on a ten-minute-timer.

What are you trying to do?
