you can leave alt wired up as long as you insulate the wire at the rear, but in any case it wont effect your key but will the radio if coded

Hi so I can take it off as long as I keep wires away from anything and my key is a fob and it’s coded to car I’ll do it the way you have just suggested makes more sense thanks
