| Are there any in-line or other fuses that could be blown, or other
connections that could be duff?

| Connecting it to the clock should be fine just to preserve memory but
make sure you actually connect it to the clock itself and not the
illuminating bulbs or back light, the only way to do this is check it
with a meter to make sure the voltage stays there when you take the
keys out, other than that use a 12 volt bulb attach a couple of wires
and put one end to earth and one end on the wire and then see if you
get anything, If all this is ok it looks like you have a problem with
your radio.
Good Luck Martin

Question is how are you connecting the extra power cable up? If you're
using the plastic clip type which effectively bridge across to pieces
of wire, then enusre the metal inserts are indeed cutting into the
wires' plastic outer. I have found these type of connectors quite hard
to use and have often had to resort to using a blade first to cut into
the outer.
My radio, which is removeable, does emply batteries. The first time I
fitted those I had exactly the same symptoms you describe. It wasn't
until I thouroughly cleaned the batter terminals and contacts that I
got it to work.
By the way, you should also check the other, primary, power connection.
If that is not working or even not 100% secure, it means that your
secondary connection is doing all the running of the radio when the
ignition is off. I know the radio chould possibly then work without the
key but it might not!
Good luck and keep at it
