4200DL - Turn Buttons On With Ignition?

Looking at the software, it appears that I cannot activate buttons with the ignition sense input. However, if I also connected ignition the ignition sense wire to another +12V input, and set that to activate buttons, will that work? My concern is that it will already have +12V on it before the controller finishes booting up, and it may therefore not respond. Anyone ever try this?

That would work. What are you trying to accomplish

By the way, I was able to do this. I wired ignition sense into input E in the controller, set it to 1 hour, and made it turn on the radio button.

The other thing I noticed - and not a big deal - is if I have the button off, and I turn the car off, the button turns back on for an hour.
