Looking over the wiring diagram, the only continuous power wire is the yellow battery wire, which has to be connected for the unit to power on. Best I can tell is the Maestro is keeping the head unit powered up after I turn the truck off. Anyone else encounter this issue?

I’m having the same issue with my KENWOOD DDX9705s and the maestro RR. I can not get the radio to power down when the truck is switched off. It’s also sending power to my reverse wire (purple/white) keeping the trucks reverse lights on. The red accessory wire is off until I turn on the radio, then it stays on after I manually shut it down, I have to pull the fuse for the accessory wire to stop receiving power.
I’ve tried all the tricks posted in This thread, cut the (blue) 1 and 5 from the green connector, I’ve tried wiring the antenna amp wire from the radio (blue) to the TO1 (blue and white), the only one I haven’t tried is the micro by pass, I have the parking brake wire (light green) and the ground wire connected together and grounded to the truck, The (green) wire on the maestro side is not connected.
Is that causing my issue, is the bypass necessary to make it work?
I also checked the 12voltdatasolutions website on the same issue, switched pins G and H on the harness that goes to the stock truck plug, no change.
One other fella mentioned cutting the accessory wire on the 3pin connector of the meastro RR, I’m not sure that’s the solution.
I need help to figure this out, any insight or expertise with this issue would be much appreciated.
