Its not the CD motor per se that draws the current, its the whole system. Once the wake up call is sent to the ECU everything is active.
The same system is on the 3-series BMWs. Systems that don't switch off will run the battery flat in less than 48 hours.
Unfotunately I don't have a high current meter.
