4k Audi(o) question



Stayed up late last night trying to install my spiffy new Blaupunkt
CD/Receiver and have a few questions:

1. The stock wiring harness has four wires:
	Red/grey wire - +12V to the battery
	White - antennae power 
	Brown - ground
	Blue/grey???? (Anyone know what this wire is for?)

2. My receiver has four wires as well
	+12V constant battery
	Switched to ignition
	Antennae power
	Ground

My real question is, since Audi wires their radios to be independent of the
ignition switch, what should I do with the wire from the radio that's
intended to be switched by the ignition? If I connect it to the +12V
red/grey wire, the radio will work, but the backlit clock doesn't go off
even if the unit itself is powered down. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
