My Kosos worked fine with no power feed. I set it up then took it off for 3 weeks and it remembered all the settings

use can usually use a thin wire from the battery to keep radios alive etc, so long as its not wired to the starter and is obviously low amps, 3amp
wire should do, with a fuse.

Isn't the ignition switch and the steering lock all you need?

Ignition switch and steering lock are sufficient.
If fitting a battery cut-out IIRC you still need to be able to operate the sidelights or similar even when the battery switch is disconnected as
parking lights. Also you may want to be able to operate the hazards when it's disconnected.

Put a 500 ohm resistors across the terminals of the master switch.
