Real quick:

In addition to programming the radio to recognize the ignition sense line, you have to wire it.

The main power to the radio should not be ignition switched; you'll lose some settings when the radio shelf is powered down and, as you've learned, powering up the shelf will not cause the radio to turn on. Rather, another wire has to be led, through an appropriate fuse, from a source of switched B+ to a pin on the accessory connector on the back of the radio. Your installation manual should show you which pin and how to make up the connection.
