Default Amp trigger on C6

Can someone confirm if the white wire on B3 of the harness will give the delay to match when the radio turns on and off. I searched and couldn't confirm this.
Thanks,
Buddy

It will definitely stay on with RAP after you turn the car off, it's the trigger wire for the oem amp (as long as you have the stock radio installed).

The only issue B3 has (that others have reported) is that due to the way the radio generates the warning beeps it's hot whenever the car is running, even if the radio isn't on. That just means whatever you trigger with it will be on whenever the car is running, even if the radio is off.

Thanks guys. On my last C6 install, several years ago, I used the seat heater fuse. Didn't like that as much.
To all my CF brothers and sisters, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.
