Default 2001 A6 - Does it have an accessory position?

After replacing my stereo, I realized one thing. I don't think this car has an accessory position. With the stock stereo, if the car is off, you just push the power button and it'll turn on. No need to turn the keyto an accessory position. I'm guessing the logic for that was inside the head unit. Here in lies the problem. I can't turn my radio on unless my car is on. Why may you ask would I want to do such a thing? Well, I sit in my car and listen to the radio if I'm early to work, at lunch, waiting for one of the girlfriends to come out (we all know we have to wait on them...lol) or at the drive-in. What I've done is hooked it up hot so that "technically" it's always on (provided the power button has been pushed). So far I've only jumped out the car once and left the radio on. I just know one day I'm going to forget and come back to a dead battery. What have you guys done to combat this situation?

A quick thought has just come to me in the form of a timer. But I haven't completely thought it out yet.
