My question now is, if your car is off and the keys are not in it can you still turn on the radio? with my old blaupunkt I could, with this one I cant, the key has to be turned to the first accessory point.

You're right about the wires being backwards. I explained this little problem in my write-up on the Alpine Install here: Wiring Harness for Alpine Install (pics)
You cannot turn on the radio unless the keys are in the car and the ignition is turned on. Don't have to have the engine running, but at least the IGN on.
I suppose you could reconfigure the wiring to be able to turn the unit on without the keys, but I haven't done that.
Good luck.
Regards,
Wayne
