Hi Gang, oh and where's a good place to get an ignition switched power
supply for my new stereo

If I need it, I like to install a relay for the ignition switched power for
the radio. I wire the relay to the unswitched power I have at the radio
and then trigger the relay from the wire at the ignition key switch which
leads to the warning chime. This way I can have power to the radio with
the key in the ignition but I do not need to turn on the ignition. Also,
the wire for the warning chime at the ignition switch is not too far from
where the radio is mounted so wiring is pretty easy for me.
Of course I usually just wire with unswitched 12v to the radio all the time
like God and Audi intended it, but I have seen radios that will not
completely shut down without ignition switched power too.
HTH,
