Do you guys run all of the in-dash audio components off the same live wire on the stock harness?

* Head Unit
* Blue Tooth Box
* Satellite Tuner
* Satellite IP Bus
* PAC Steering Wheel controller


All of these require a live wire and while I realize that all except the head unit are excessively low draw (amp wise), I am just concerned about running everything thru a single wire intended to power a factory deck. Do you run another switched line to the fuse panel? Will that affect the delayed off feature? If even that carries over to the aftermarket deck.

Thanks for your help in advance guys..
You could get away with it. But i like using the key switch wires under dash or the 12V Powerpoint next to the radio.
