Are you using the ignition feed at the head unit?

Nope , into the fuse box onto a couple of spare terminals

With it being CAN Bus, the fuse box most likely isn't just a fuse
box. It'll have a CAN controller built in, and chances are you've
probably picked up two fuses that are controlled by the CAN
controller for optional extras.

The fuse that I've used for the switched live is labelled with a phone
symbol , suggesting it's designed for a car kit.
The other one I can't remember off the top of my head.

Hence the strange goings on with voltages.

Indeed.

Professional installers will always take a feed direct from the
battery, and unless they can find a suitable ignition controlled
wire, they'll wire the kit up so it's permanently on. It just means
you don't get the option of the phone turning off with the ignition
(most handsfree kits will work with the igntion off anyway).

I'd rather not have the continual drain , even if it is low.
Looks like I'll have to try and find a route through from the engine bay for
a permanent 12v though
