    I do remember reading a thread that said, leaving the audio power button ON when shutting down the car will drain the aux.
    Not sure where I saw it though?

    yes
    but i did a inside thread search and there is no mansion about jbl system draining the battery

    edit
    i googled

    There is a white multi-pronged plug that plugs into the JBL amp under the seat (accessed from the rear of the front passenger seat) that the Toyota Service Manager showed me how to unplug whenever I was going to leave the car for more than a few hours. This would prevent the amp from draining the 12V battery while I was waiting for the replacement JBL amp to arrive and be installed. Once you start the car, just plug the wire back into the amp in order to use your stereo.
