Mach Radio system drains battery!!
I know without a doubt that the Mach Radio is draining my battery when the car is turned off. It takes about a day and a half. I have taken the fuse out and no problems.
My question is --- Isn't there a solution for this without having to replace the stereo which I think is great.

Yes, just disconnect the live wire you have going to the radio. All radios have a live wire to keep presets, clock, etc. That is what is causing your drain. If you make it switched to go off with your ignition, then you should have no more drain, unless you have some other live wire that I am not aware of.
