Ignition wire on radio? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Finally reconnected the stock radio after a previous owner had just cut the wires. Anyways, the only problem I have other than no front speakers is that I can't find the ignition wire that turn the radio off with the key. As it is, I have to manually turn it off everytime. Can anyone give me some helpfull information to fix this?

For whatever reason Nissan decided to make my cigarette lighter wire only on at ignition.  I tapped into that wire for the 12v ign in my stereo.  Then again, I have a truck.  Probe the wire, though.
