well, just got back from a stereo shop.
they said everything was cool with the stereo, and it wasn't that.
even with the system unplugged, the alarm removed, and everything off, it would still drain :angry:
the only suggestions they could come up with were either to take it to the stealership and have them look at it ($$$$), or to remove the battery terminals and watch it with a multimeter, which, at this time, I'm currently doing.
sigh.......
ANY suggestions would kick ass
