Yes, it appears to be normal on our cars, although the first I have experienced. Fuses denote "C3 key in". I am used to turning the key to "auxiliary" to keep the radio on after the engine is turned off.

If you had the volume turned down or muted or something, that could have easily caused the battery drain.
