Hi, I am a new member & would like some advice on finding an ignition live that is easy to get to my after market radio without having to strip half the dash out. Thanx
If you have the standard Visteon radio fitted, the ignition switched supply is on pin 4 of connector A in the back of the radio. Connector A is probably white and the wire on pin 4 of it, is probably light blue. However, wiring connector and cable colours are often different to what's shown on the wiring diagram.
Hi & cheers for your reply. Pin 4 is not connected on my stilo & the only live in the radio connector is perm live (pin 7 I think) which means I have to turn the radio off but I want it to go on & off with ignition
Hi, I already thought of that the problem is the lighter socket in my stilo is in the centre consul right back near the rear seats & I would not be able to get the wire up to the radio. Thanx

Hi & thanx everyone who replied to my post. I have now sorted the problem by taking an ignition live from the electric mirror switch (its the end blue one in my vehicle) the switch is easy to flip out & its closer than the lighter socket which I couldn't get out anyway. Thanx everyone. Sid UK
