GS Sound system/Navi unit operational in ACC mode?

Car just presented in the Newbies forum works super, however there is one really annoying feature. The Becker Sound system/Navi unit is only operational in the MAR mode which means that every time the engine is switched off so is the music and since I installed a Parrot hands free kit which integrates with the sound system so is the hands free function!

Sound system/Navi hands free should therefore be operational already in the ACC mode (Ignition switch modes are STOP - ACC - MAR - Not used).

Wondering if anyone else sees this as a problem and maybe have a simple solution for it before I dig in to the electrics of the car which I will in the case of no solutions. Downloaded (bought actually) the workshop manual from TradeBit (http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/9122024-maserati-m138-coupe-spyder-workshop-parts) but it contains no useful wiring diagrams.

Looking forward to hear from you /ripan

Sorry for the way this sounds, but have you tried pressing the ON button? ;)

Mine turns off with the key too, but I can turn the unit back on even with the keys out of the ignition by pressing the ON button.

Caramba, pants down!

Ah, not really though. The ON button does turn it on again, music is ok, but hands free call is interrupted. So I still would like it to use the ACC mode. That is the common rule in other cars.
I guess that this can differ from country to country. In Italy, where my car comes from, they prefer to have the ventilation on when engine is switched off while here in the northern territories we prefer the radio and handsfree to be on and dont care for the ventilation.
