The radios have stayed on unless I pulled the fuse on all my previous trailers. Big parasite drain.
The radio my have two power leads, one for the radio itself and a second to maintain memory for the station presets, equalizer, etc. If you don't mind losing those settings you can pull the fuse or install a switch to both power leads. Personally I would install a switch at the battery to kill all parasitic draws.

Time to find the power side of those wires and install a toggle switch in line, drilled right into the cabinet. You own it, you have the power here LOL

I usually take the faceplate off the unit (or leave it ejected) to prevent drain. Officially, the demo mode is a pain, and is a very parasitic drain.

Removing the faceplate won't stop the memory wire (usually blue) from drawing power, though. Which is why you would still have all your pre-set's when you reattached the face. I don't think it's anywhere near the draw the power wire is. But still a draw. That is, if it's the same as car audio.
That is exactly the way my TT is up.

We have the same model, but a 2016. We push (and hold for a couple seconds) the top left button and that turns off the entire radio so there are no lights shining.

We have a 2016 same model. Just push and hold the top left button and it will turn the entire thing off.
