Correct! Just to add a bit of description, your radio has two power wire connections. Should be a red and yellow wire. The yellow wire is for direct 12v either straight to the battery or to a factory wire that is hot all the time. The red goes to a 12v switched. Meaning turn the car on the red wire gets 12v, turn it off and that wire switches off too.
