(..) ignition and 12V permanent reversed. If that were the case, wouldn't it keep playing after the ignition was turned off?

I don't think so. When ignition and permanent are reversed, the player would never shut itself down as the feeler wire will always see 12V. At the same time, it'll use the ignition wire to feed itself. Thus, when ignition is killed, the rug is pulled on the juice and the player will run out of power before it can shut itself down. Hence the thump . . .

Start-up sequence / flashing leds etc will tell.

Seeing as how I just posted a FAQ to that effect, I hope that's not the case.
