Stereo wiring in '90 80Q, no switched DC?

[Dave Glubrecht]

On my 84 4kq's I found a wire that is switched hot when the key is in.  This
is in the fusebox where the key buzzer came out, but I really like the radio
comming on when the key is only in.
  There seems to be enough similarities to the 80/90's that you may be able
to find a wire to do this.

I recently bought a 1990 80Q and noticed the stereo (aftermarket) never
shutoff. The display was always on. So I figured they just wired it wrong
and pulled it out to take a look. Now I see why they did what they did.
There doesn't seem to be a source of switched 12V back there. I measured
every wire with the key on and the only +12 is the one they used which is
always hot. Anyone been here before and figure out how the factory radio was
powered?

Thanks for any tips, Jim
