Depends on how the radio is wired up...
2 notches is the position it always sits in after you start the car it falls to 2 notches again...
1 notch should start the radio up if there is a direct power to it, this is only if it a standard sterio...

no that notch 2 the battary light comes on...
I think you swap the red power lead with the yellow batter lead, to make it turn on even if the car is not running, I think not shore...
