aftermarket head unit

I have had a Alpine 803u sat nav installed, all works well but when I turn the ignition off and the lock the van the radio turns off, which is what I would expect. If I return to the van and unlock the doors the radio comes on. The problem is when I then lock the van again without the key...

Has anyone had experience with either of these units? I like the Kenwood, my wife prefers the Halo 9. I know from @Absolut5 what the differences are, just can’t choose. I worry that the Apline unit might vibrate as it’s a floating screen? cheers Ollie.
