[s-cars] Ignition Switch and Radio Power

[Don Warren]

Robert,
My 95 S6 Avant came with the radio powered seperate from the needing the key to turn on the power.
I just had my ingition switch also replaced and it did not change the switching.
I too have a chime does go off when the door is opened.
 
FWIW
