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

[Todd Phenneger]

Rob,
  I wired mine into the Ignition switch wire that sends power to
the Door buzzer you speak of.  Its a thin red wire with a stripe
of some color.  ITs been a couple years and I dont remember
exactly but if you probe around you'll find it.  IT delivers 12v
with the key in the ignition but not turned, and 0-v with the
key out.  So when you remove the key the stereo turns off.  I
like it that way.  :-)
  Sorry, no other suggestions other than to wire both hot and
manually turn off the Radio like you had to with the factory
radio.
