A parasitic drain of .05 A or less is considered typical. To make it clear, no, I did not wire directly to the fuse box. I followed recommended wiring instructions and used wiring harnesses from Crutchfield.

When I pull the radio fuse, the drain drops to .016 A. I appreciate if anyone can share what the expected range of the parasitic drain is for the 8200. <I think it is a great head unit
