If you use the terminal for the key in lock warning you get +12 without
turning the lock.  In fact you can use another key in the lock and it will
activate the switch.

Ok, i don't know what you mean by tumbler, but i meant to ask if the 
ignition lock does give voltage anywhere in the first key turn 
position, before "run". Because sometimes you want to listen to radio 
when car is not running, but you really wouldn't wanna go to "run" 
position since then blower goes on, etc..
But, in my case i don't want to wire radio "ign" lead to a constant 
+12v, since then the radio won't shut off when car shuts down. And 
this 
feature i need since i shut car off many times in a day when im 
working.
