Heres a guide to check if your radio is draining:
If it is draining - you can change how it its powered with a jumper in the engine bay fuse box - the only problem is the startup wont be as quick:

might sound silly, but i dont have a multi meter :stupid:.. can i do the same check with a 12v tester? so stereo off and check for a live on both pins of that fuse?
LC5F:
unsure what a 12v tester is??
if it shows how many volts are flowing between terminals - then yes.
blingsta:
I mean a 12v light tester.. the light comes on if there is a live
LC5F:
If the head is draining the battery it is a very low voltage - you can try, but suspect its too low to illuminate a bulb.
